Thanks for the enthusiastic response to the new sets! I have been having a blast with them, and hope you find all kinds of inspiration for them from the Featured Designers. If you haven't checked out their sites yet, do! You're in for a treat! You'll find a list on
this post.
Here's a card I made using two blocks from
Homespun Quilt and the girl and sentiment from
Turkey Time. I chose to use rich browns throughout the card for lots of extra seasonal goodness. The quilt blocks are stamped on natural cardstock in memento ink and colored with markers. I punched out the blocks using a 1" square punch and used brown distress inks to warm up the edges of the blocks before assembling the entire quilted layer. Then, once the quilt was assembled, I inked up the outer edges of the quilt even more. How cozy does that look!
Thanksgiving Girl is stamped on watercolor paper in black StazOn ink and painted with re-inkers. I like to use watercolor paper for images I plan to cut out and mount to the front of the card for the papers extra heavy weight and stability.
Mmmmm, pie.....
Very cozy and very cute!
