Country Blessings


Wow, I can't believe this is the first in forever I have used this set!!!!! One of those gotta have then it quickly gets forgotten -- how sad. Time to look for more sets like that so they too can see the ink!!!
This is for SC150 on SCS. I had just made a 2 page scrapbook layout using this designer paper by Cloud 9 Design, so why not use up some of the scraps. I stamped the image in Timber Brown Stazon then colored it with my watercolor pencils. Then some areas got highlighted with the Sakura glitter pen. The edges were sponged with creamy caramel and ribbon added. The bottom layer of So saffron was stamped using the Weathered background stamp in Sahara sand ink going in both directions. I like the effect the double stamping provides. A little sewing, some gold brads, and it is complete. Other colors of cardstock used were Really rust, Forest foliage, Always artichoke, Close to cocoa and Sahara sand. Thanks for looking.

Linda, this is gorgeous! Isn't it amazing how quickly we forget some of the "I have to have it" stamps! LOL We all do it and it's fun to come back to them time and time again.
