Feel like I lost a day - i put the wee folk to bed last night at 7.30 and slept right through!! AAAArrrgghh! missed a whole nights crafting!
Anyhow - here's yesterdays card - I'm writing up a quick tutorial - a couple of you folks also have this quilt stencil - or something like it and there's a couple of interesting things to do, more later today hopefully.
I used Quilters sampler stamp set (PapertreyInk) for the Background - printed a tiny block in versamark on the sweet blush cardstock. Also a piece of bitty dots paper (also PTI) on the bottom. Couple of wee flowers. (Prima)
Also - do you like the sentiment tag - it's actually an escutcheon shape from a keyhole and escutcheon punch that i bought at the craft fair - I put a rectangle of cream card (PTI) on it and added two pink eyelets - thought it made a dinky wee tag!
Hope it tickles!
Breathtakingly gorgeous in evey way.janex

ReplyDeleteThats great--I love it !
ReplyDeleteWow! What a suprise when I checked your blog today. Country Stencils are located in Knoxville, Tennessee, where I live. In fact, I first ran across these last November at Christmas show. A daughter and mother sell these. The daughter was managing the booth at the show. Julie and I had a lovely conversation, and I bought a few stencils, paint and the stylus. A month later I attended a class she taught at a LSS. I was just getting back into some crafting. Well, things have blossomed from there; I got interested in stamping, discovered PTI, etc. What began for me with a few stencils has led to a lovely creative outlet. I am so happy to see your lovely creations, and I am going to have to head to my LSS to purchase a few more stencils and try your technique. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Cammie Oh, I just noticed that Julie has left a comment.
ReplyDeletePure loveliness. I've always adored pink and green together. And quilting patterns are one of my faves! I love the wee tag...
ReplyDeleteI so LOVE pink and green together. Thank you so much for sharing your creations. They are amazing. You are truely blessed!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! This is gorgeous! Well, I'm a quilter and am so in love with this card. Well, I thought about some of my unused (I'm stamping these days and rarely quilting unfortunately) quilting supplies and seemed to recall some stencils I purchased about ten years ago at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. I have this stencil! Yay! Thanks for this gorgeous card...I love it...and thanks for your tutorial! CherylQuilts at SCS
