A PEACEFUL NUT HATCH

Hello and HAPPY THANKSGIVING week!! I am SO THANKFUL for each of you! What a blessing it is for me to be able to be part of such a wonderful community of gifted people!


I have BLOG CANDY HERE...


 Welcome to Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company's November Blog Hop! The blog HOP starts HERE at Lois's Blog! If you did not start there, you will want to go back and see what she has in store for you!

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are Peaceful Nuthatch, A Trip to Lancaster and What a Fox

Todays card uses the beautiful set called A Peaceful Nuthatch.  I recently heard someone was struggling with getting a "nice crisp" image while using acrylic stamps. ONE TIP I would recommend is to stamp on top of a mouse pad. The acrylic stamps do not have the cushion that rubber stamps have and I find this helps a lot!!!

Here are the details to my project today:

I stamped the Nuthatch image onto the White Storm cardstock. I colored the image with my copics. Then painted over the image with Creative Inspiration Paints in GOLD and my Aqua painter. I sponged the edge with Always Artichoke ink and my sponge dauber. The gold layer behind it is the Elegant Ovals Spellbinders. 

The green ivy is the Holly Lace flourish die from Cheery Lynn Designs. The background paper is from the Premium paper pack from the Summer Garden collection. For some finishing touches I added gold Dew drops with mini glue dots.

We would LOVE to have you hop along with us! You have a chance to win one of the above stamp sets! Just comment on the following blogs (don't forget this one), each day!
