PIck Your Poison SSC 224

Wow, it's been such a long time since I have participated in the stampin 411 challenge.  I saw this sketch and immediately thought about using the Pick Your Poison dsp.  I used pumpkin pie cs, peach parfait cs, basic black cs and very vanilla cs.  My sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and stamped in pumpkin pie.  The ribbon is peach parfait and the punches I used are the 1 1/4" circle, 1" circle, word window, modern label and the movers and shapers modern label.  A couple of vintage brads finish it off.  For the inside I used more Pick Your Poison dsp and accented it with some bats punched from peach parfait and sponged with black.  The inside greeting is from Greatful Greetings.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope your day is wonderful!
