Hello there! How are you on this fine spring day? Our snow is finally melted, and much to my delight, the tulips are coming up! Spring is so fun here. It seems like every time we go outside there's something new growing. Of course a lot of those are weeds, but we'll overlook that for now. They're green.
I've been working on this piece for a little while. I had the idea back in February and started working on it then. I got the layout planned, finished the stamping and the water coloring in just a couple of days. Unfortunately, life got in the way after that and it sat unfinished on the corner of my desk for several weeks. It is finally done and currently hanging in my craft studio, but I think it may find a permanent home in our living/dining room pretty soon.
Considering how many different sets and products I used on this sampler, I was surprised to see that only 4 or them were retiring. I will list below all the sets that I've used along with the paper and other supplies. The Cozy Cottage set is a Hostess set, so it will be retiring along with the Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts stamp set, In the Trees stamp set and the Island Indigo cardstock and inks. Of all the colors retiring, I think I'm going to miss that one the most since it closely matches the color scheme in my living/dining area.
This is in a 12 x 12 frame. All of the coloring was done by squishing my closed pad so that the lid of the pad touched the pad itself and left an ink puddle there. I then used an Aqua Painter to lift the color from the lid and used it as I would watercolor to paint in the design. If you're interested in the measurements of each of the blocks, let me know in the comments and I will measure them out and edit this post with them. I have listed below the various sets and supplies that I used on it.
Till next time...
God's love and blessings!
