Another Duo Day

So fun - we're going all slanty this week at Retro Rubber #180!
Looking the sketch over, I finally decided this was a grand opportunity to show off some serious DSP - enter the stunning Expressions in Ink DSP!  I have neglected this gorgeous paper so badly - and I blush to admit that I haven't wanted to cut up any of the beautiful sheets, lol.  So I made myself take chunks from each of the ones I've been hoarding - quite the array!  To finish, I wanted to feature this quote from 2010's Favorite Thoughts set - love these quotes!  And every woman KNOWS this one is true, lol.
Favorite Thoughts Stamp Set (retired 2010); Expressions in Ink DSP; Basic White & Magenta Madness CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Gilded Gems; #RRCB180.

And I get to do a second card today for SU Only #299, of our fave CURRENT bundle!  Excellent!
If we're talking CURRENT bundle, I'm going to have to go all Arizona on you and go with Cactus Cuties, along with its adorable Cactus Builder punch.  Love it so much!  Ironically, for today's card, I actually didn't use the punch as much as usual - I wanted to try stamping various composed arrangements and fussy cutting instead - so satisfying, lol.  I did a nice earthy trio of pots, with an "on point" sentiment, and finished with some Early Evergreen Jewels.  I have to give a nod of thanks to the awesome Libby Fens for the arrangements ideas, too - woo hoo!
I can't wait to see YOUR creations for our challenges this week - meet you there!
Cactus Cuties Stamp Set; Pattern Party DSP; Basic White & Early Evergreen CS; Cinnamon Cider, Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Early Evergreen, Old Olive, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz & Calypso Coral Inks; Cactus Builder Punch; Early Evergreen Jewels; #SUOC299.
