North Carolina State Fair WINNERS!!!!

I am so excited that first of all my customers and friends (same thing) entered the North Carolina State Fair and they all won ribbons!!!

So I want to honor them here for doing such a good job and congratulate them, I am so proud of them.  

Each month when we stamp together they come up with great alternatives to what I am showing them and I love these women.  We stamp together and pray for each other and just such a great sisterhood.  One day as I looked around the table I said you know what if it were not for stamping I would not know any of you.  So there are many reasons I love rubber stamping but the joy these women give me is the best reason.   

When I contacted one of the girls she said "Frances I don't know if you want to put mine on your blog because it is not a Stampin UP stamp that I used, I have had that stamp a really long time before I started coming to you".  I said I am not leaving you out, you earned that 2nd place ribbon and you stamp with my Stampin UP stamps all the time you purchase from me all the time.  But how sweet of her to be worried that I would not want her beautiful work on my blog.  Love these girls.

Greeting Card Kids

I saw a card similar to this on line from Debbie Henderson at least a year ago maybe more.  I loved the way hers looked and I wanted to try it something close to it.  I finally purchased our watercolor paper!!! Can't believe I waited so long.  When you look at the yellow shadow part it is so much more severe in the photo than in person.  I used a marker and a blender pen to color in the image and  dazzling diamonds on the fur parts to make them stand out. I punched the image with a 2-3/8 scallop punch and punched an extra piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and layered it.

On the next layer I used glossy cardstock and used a resist method by stamping Merry Christmas (Greetings of the Season) with versa mark and then brayered the glossy layer of the card with Always Artichoke, then wiped off the area with the versa mark "Merry Christmas" with a tissue and the resist came through.  I used the Music Notes wheel for the background in basic black.  Added Cherry Cobbler seam binding and layered all pieces.
