I took So Saffron as my main color and lo and behold, I had a color challenge left to do that was *perfect* for this stamp, like it was meant to be I had to stamp the main image three times before I got it to look how I wanted it though--I started out with Chocolate Chip ink on Confetti White cardstock, but the grain of the paper just wasn't working with this detailed image. So I tried CC ink on Whisper White and it was just too dark and harsh. Finally I tried Versafine Vintage Sepia on WW, and liked the results. I lightly colored in the image with Prismacolor pencils, I love those things. The flowers are shaded with just a touch of pink, and the butterfly is shaded with a slightly darker orangey yellow.
The card measures 4.25" square. I stamped the random dots from Itty Bitty Backgrounds on the card base because it seemed to need a little something.

OMG - I just bought this stamp. I completely forgot about seeing it here first - and commenting on it! And... I just got Bronc Buster because I loved how you used it in your gallery. I am feeling a little "stalkish";)
