It’s been such a long time since I posted anything again! I need to write an update on what I’m doing, as well as well as my vision for the future of my blog. But in the mean time, enjoy this card which I created for a family who had me over for dinner the other week.

Ink: Papertrey Ink, Studio G

This quick card uses the Faithful Florals stamp set by Tami Mayberry, and the Fanciful Tags stamp set by Nina Brackett, both available from Gina K. Designs.
I stamped the flower image on three small squares of colored cardstock using coordinating inks and then mounted them to the Kraft cardbase using dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment using black ink below the squares, and drew the horizontal line with a ruler and a gray marker.

The Gina K. Design Team has another blog hop challenge this month! The theme is Autumn memories, so I used Theresa Momber’s “Farm Life” stamp set to create a weathered outdoor scene inspired by the orchard that I worked at for several years – after the leaves fell off the trees, all the old farm equipment was visible throughout the property and looked really neat. Check Gina K.’s blog to find the details on entering your project in the hop.
I stamped the watering can image on Pure Luxury White cardstock, masked over it, and then stamped over the mask with the fence and wheel image. I then colored the image with Copic markers: C-1, C-3, C-5, C-7, E08, E43, E47, YG91, YG95, W-3, W-5, YR23, Y28, G000, G00, BG10, and 0.
I tore the right side of the cardstock and after rolling the edges, I layered it on a piece of PL Black Onyx cardstockl. I wrapped a length of twine twice around the PL Green Apple cardbase and then mounted the main image with dimensionals. I finished the card by stamping the sentiment on a piece of PL White cardstock, trimmed it out, and then mounted it to the main image with dimesnionals.
Supply List

As this is being posted my brother and I should be on our way to a war-between-the-states reenactment in southern Iowa. After that that we’ll be working at our cousin’s house in Kansas so I may not be able to respond to emails as promptly as I would like, but I will have a few posts scheduled to pop up during the week so you shouldn’t miss me too bad.
I haven’t played with watercolor crayons or pencils in a while, so i decided to try watercoloring a scene using Theresa Momber’s Farm Life stamp set from Gina K. Designs. The tree and fence image was stamped onto Pure Luxury White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then colored with watercolor pencils. I tried to blend yellows and green in the tree, aquas and blues in the sky, & browns and grays for the trees and fence posts. After coloring the image with pencils, I brushed over the colors with water to blend them together.
The sentiment was stamped onto a scrap of PL White cardstock and mounted to the cardbase with dimensionals. For a finishing touch, I added a length of linen thread to the top of the card.
