I liked the last card so much that I made another but with buttons instead of gems and a different sentiment. I can see this being a go-to card to have on hand.
After stamping quite a few cards for my WOF series at this point, my stamp cleaner/scrubber was d-i-r-t-y. I do like it a lot more than wiping my stamps with baby wipes when done like I used to do. Not only do my stamps get cleaner but it also lets the ink adhere more evenly the next time I use them. I notice it more with solid image stamps like these flowers. Also, I found with baby wipes that only one certain kind of wipe in one particular brand for me was
1) not leaving lint
2) not leaving streaks
3) actually took ink off (well seemed to)
With the stamp scrubber/cleaner I had discovered that the staining on my stamps were not all in fact stains. The wipes were not completely cleaning the ink off the stamp resulting in a stained look. I only have a few stamps that are actually stained now. And let's face it, rubbing a stamp on the scrubber real quick is so much easier and less messy (and cheaper) than using a wipe. Is this news to a bunch of people? No, but I hope it helps someone because I wish I would have gotten my scrubber/cleaner a lot sooner.
Thanks for looking (and putting up with my rabbit trail)!

Beautiful card! And great tip on the stamp scrubber. I find that that I have to use the Huggies Supreme wipes to clean my stamps or they tear and lint up like you described. I also re-use the wipes as much as possible, but if the scrubber gets them even cleaner, then I'm definitely curious to give it a try! =)

What a pretty card. Brilliant idea to pair the flowers with buttons.
