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).
