This is my rough take on the Thanks a Bunch card on page 80. I've had this button for years!
This was labor intensive and I had my 6 year old grandson and 3 year old granddaughter in my stamping room with me, too! What was I thinking?! I got distracted by them while gluing down the orange CS, and it dried a bit crooked. Oh, well. They had fun stamping with their Mimi!
The plaid BG was done freehand with very diluted re-inkers and watercolor brushes.

I neglected to say why this was so time consuming (Aside from the fact that my grandchildren were with me! LOL!)....the flowers and leaves were punched out and arranged in the button basket. It was just an empty basket to start.
