This is for Peggy's colour challenge.....I know, who'd have thunk I could do a colour challenge!
Thanks to the magic of MISTI I was able to stamp this jeans pocket a gazillion times, alternating between Memento ink and distress ink. A gazillion times is a bit over the top, but seriously I inked and stamped this image about 15 times to build up the colours and get a good impression.
10 seconds in the microwave was all that was needed to remove this very unforgiving stamp from the wooden block YAY!!!!
Thank you for looking.

Incredible - couldn't believe at first that the jeans were not in fact denim - the colour and the way you achieved it is wonderful. Guess we all had jeans like this back in the 70s and I hope they all looked good on us - we thought they did - he he. Love this.

Still had to look at this a BUNCH of times to be sure that was not real denim!!!! Unbelievably realistic and whether it was a bazillion times, or 15, the finished product is outta-sight!!! The way you draped the ribbon through the jeans and added just the perfect amount of flowers (plus added the funny title on this card) made me cheer! Way to go, and welcome back, Susie!!

Wow - that's a stamp? I thought you cut up a pair of old jeans. You are so clever! Love the flowers and ribbon belt. Creative use of the colors today. I will answer your question as my DH would "not at all". Wonderful card! TFS
