Happy Superbowl Sunday everyone! I am not an avid football fan, but I will partake in a superbowl party for the food of course. Today, I decided to celebrate by playing along with the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoast. Barbara Anders (aka Bar) is our Featured stamper, and boy does she have a fun gallery to case. I chose Barbara's Pie in the Window, because it reminded me of the first card I ever posted to Splitcoast in 2007. This is the card that began my love of creating scenes with stamps.
I didn't have the same stamp set that Barbara used, but I had "Window Dressing", a retired SU set that had yet to see ink (gasp!). I stamped the window on watercolor paper and added "siding" and "curtains" with my artist's pen. I watercolored the image with SU re-inkers. I then stamped the window again, watercolored just the shutters, and then cut them out and added them to the main image. I added a cute little girl from the set and punched hearts to decorate my window. This was such a fun card to make today.
Note: If you live near the S.F. Bay Area and are interested in learning how to watercolor using re-inkers and create scenes with your stamps, I will be posting my class schedule this week. Hope to see you all soon.
Til Next Time,
Very Cute! I love the colors. (I too have stamp sets that have yet to see ink - gasp gasp :-) ) Allie
