Pastoral Victorian

Hallo,

Back to my creations with paper piecing this 'Pastoral Women' stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms.

I paper pieced her dress and the hands on top of the dress. The hands/apples and the rest of the stamp is colored with prismacolor pencils.

The backround stamp is also from CHF - 'Fine Finials' (which I think is retired).



The old ribbon is from my garage sale stash.
All for today

A clutter of Birds

Hallo,
Thought I would break up the run of 'Pastoral Woman' for a day with this silly little card. I had something in mind when I started but it went just a little 'birdy' LOL
I dug through my DP scraps, stamped and spent about an hour cutting and when I started putting it together it just needed 'more' so I added more, and more, and more, and pretty soon it was positively cluttered.
Ah well back to the drawing board - hee hee.
This is a really cute stamp set from Cornish Heritage Farms - Kim Hughes collection. You can find it here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com
I am preposting most of this week as we are headed, mini van loaded for bear :) road trip to Nebraska.

Green Victorian Woman

Hallo,
I have had alot of fun with this stamp in the last couple days, so you will see this one several more time over the course of the week....
I sat down with intentions of doing some paper piecing - I had a completely different set and look in mind for my play time, but somehow this stamp jumped into my hand and I ended up with 4 cards and one picture for framing.....hopefully today I can get back to my origional idea :)
All stamps are from Cornish Heritage farms and you can find them here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com



The main image is 'Pastoral Woman'
and is colored with prismacolor pencils and her dress is paper pieced, then the hands with the apples pieced on top.. Edged with gold krylon pen.
The backround is 'victorian flowers' backrounder in peeled paint distress ink onto green paper.
All for today - will be preposting the next week or so until I run out of stuff. I work the next 2 days and then on Sunday we are going out of town for a short vacation back to Nebraska to visit family and pick up DD before heading back home.

God's Shadow

Hallo,
Errands done, dog walked, some house cleaning done.....'Stampin' Time!!!!!
I finished this one up last week as I was doing alot of coloring for this weeks challenge at CHF. I finished off 3 projects but could only submit one.
I had a hard time choosing which one would be the one I submitted - I had to ask everyone's opinion - my stamping buddies Pat (aka Cheif Enabler/enablee) and Fran, asked me DD and DS, asked my Mom, even asked the DH.....
Anyway all the stamps are from Cornish Heritage Farms - main image is from the Thomas Kinkade collection and the others are from the 'Ornamental Beauty' set.
You can find these great stamps and info about the Design Challenges going on over at CHF here - www.cornishheritagefarms.com

The main image is colored with prismacolor pencils.
I also used some chipboard pieces, some old ribbon, glimmer mist, and brads....
All for now - have to get working on the next 2 challenges as we are going on vacation next week and I want to have them all ready in my laptop to 'load and go'

Friendship Woods

Hallo,
These photos today are of my entry for this weeks challenge over at Cornish Heritage Farms. By entering you can win stamps or even a Guest Designer Spot - Need to know more? - go here - http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/
for more info on the Design Challenges. Or just pop in to see all the good stuff eveeryone is doing in the gallerys.
The stamps used in this framed picture are - 'Friendship Cottage' from the Thomas Kinkade line, 'trees backrounder' and the Serenity Prayer and all are from Cornish Heritage Farms. So now you have 3 great reasons to pop over to CHF!!!
The main image was colored with prismacolor pencils. The backrounder was stamped onto green patterned scrapbook paper, and the saying was stamped onto torn velum.
I almost left this image as you see it in these first pictures as a 5x7 but the more I looked at it the more I realized it NEEDED to be bigger - so I matted it onto dark green mattboard and framed it. Just keep looking - its the last picture....


In other news - the painting I had planned on finishing in my DS's room last friday got postponed until today because my DH was able to take friday off so they started laying tile instead. While I worked all weekend they finished off tile so today my DS and I have finished off the painting and done a bit of clean up. Tonight the DH will finish putting the trim back on and assist DS to get the big furniture back into his room.
That means that tomorrow (after a couple errands, a walk with my pooch, and a couple house chores ...) I should get some good stamping time in while DS finishes off putting things back together in his room!!!
All for today - I have a little stampin' time left this afternoon :)
