Artisan Sampler


I was asked to do a custom class for a Bridal shower recently. We toyed with the idea of cards or home decor idea. I've really been enjoying the sampler I made of our Costa Rica trip (see this post) , so suggested that idea. 
When I saw the Artisan Embellishment kit on sale on the Clearance rack, I decided to buy those and use them as the starting point for putting this together. Mostly current stuff otherwise, along with the Clearance kit..and a favourite stamp from many years ago (Delight in life ~ how can you not!)
The kit has all the great buttons and I pulled stamps from several sets to fill in the squares.
It took a bit longer to put together than we thought, but the ladies seemed pretty happy with their results. I love the Blackberry Bliss as the strong feature colour.
