Good thoughts

Hello, hello!

I've got a lot going on today so I'm gonna jump right into the card that I have to share.
Once again I'm back on my "ink up the neglected stamps" campaign and this go-round it was time to flip through my Ketto collection. I'm actually proud to say that there are very few of these cuties who haven't made it on a card or two yet. But I did find Ivy Ketto looking all fresh and clean so out she came and jumped right onto a clear block. In my defense, Ivy was one of the last Kettos that I got, so she hasn't been waiting for too long. ;)

This card also turned out to be one of the rare occasions when I used stamps to set the scene rather than relying on pattern paper. And Ivy is actually stamped twice, once on the background cardstock and then again on some Copic X-Press It, because I knew that there was no way I would be able to cut out all of the skinny vines, arms and pigtails. This way, all I had to fussy cut was the basic outline of her dress, head and legs.

Okey dokey... chat at'cha again in 24! :)
