Impression Obsession DT Challenge: Out of the Box

So the Impression Obsession team members challenged each other to 'step out of the box' by using a stamp for something other than its intended purpose. My first thought... because I'm a dork... was that sometimes I'll use a large stamp to get a good grip on a jar lid that won't open... but anyway........ after some thought I decided to use the Create-a-Cupcake set to... create a turtle. Here is the set in full:

I stamped the solid cupcake top in Lime Pastel chalk ink, then stamped the flower over the image with a slightly darker green. I swiped the same chalk ink on another scrap of cardstock, and stamped the smiley face on it, then trimmed out a little head. The feet are the outlined hearts from the same set. I added a few white gel pen dots just for fun.
The two diecut panels (made by Colorbok) and the chipboard flower came in a care package from my CSSC Sue - thanks girl! What a fun surprise. You can find the sentiment here (Sweet Loveable You B8201).

Be sure to visit the other designers to see what they created! Their links can be found to the left...and a big hug to Kathy, who's joining us full time after her quarter as a guest designer! Welcome!
