Fenced Pasture by Blue Knight Stamps ~ New!!!

Today I'm sharing Fenced Pasture by 
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. It is in the 
NEW release. 

Both of these cards are created using the NEW Pattern Papers
exclusive to Blue Knight. Sure makes for a GREAT looking
card!


I used Versafine/Black Onyx to stamp my scene on
to the Night Sky #2 set of Pattern Paper. The tree and fence are
colored with colored pencils.  The sentiment is from
One Line Sentiments/blessings and is embossed.  I also
added the NEW Flocks of Birds (love this stamp) and
then speckled with white acrylic paint. 


For this card I'm using the Day Sky #2 set of Pattern Paper
and stamped the scene the same way as I did the first card.
This scene is colored with Distress Oxide inks.  The
 Rear View Truck is stamped and cut out using the 
Rear View Truck dies.  It is also colored with Distress
Oxide inks.  I added the Flocks of Birds and for the words
One Line Sentiments/wonderful.

Sled & Lantern by Blue Knight Stamps ~New!!

Today I'm sharing a beautiful Winter
image called Sled & Lantern by Blue
Knight Stamps. I really loved working with
this one.




The card image is colored with Distress Oxide inks 
(watered down) and treated like watercolors. The brown
 mat layer is a tree bark embossing folder (I think
Tim Holtz).  I love the dimension it gives the card front.
To complete the card I added twine and the words from
the NEW One Line Sentiments/wonderful.  Last ~ speckle with
white acrylic paint.



This one is embossed with black embossing powder and the
colored in with Distress Oxide inks (same as above). I
added a pine tree from the Campsite set and the words
from the One Line Sentiments/wonderful.

Pumpkins from the past ~ Fall fun!!!

Hi!!
Turkey day is almost here.  I love Smoked Turkey and
Pumpkin Pie! and Sweet Potatoes and homemade
Chicken and Noodles. So Grateful!! I could go on and on as I'm 
sure you could too.  Anyway I thought I would share some
past projects using these key words I have highlighted.
Hope you enjoy ~


I used these as toppers for the Pumpkin Pie one year
at Thanksgiving.  The kids ended up taking them a turkey home:)
Using Sizzix die by Tim Holtz.


My youngest son made this Turkey in kindergarten and I still
have it.  Made with pipe cleaners and a spool, feathers, hand 
drawn turkey head.


A spooky clip board. Using products by Clear Scraps.  A fun one!!


Love this Fall card using stamps by Darkroom Door
and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.


Using Pouring Medium by DecoArt to cover some old
Pumpkins (Dollar Store) that had seen a better day.  Love the
mixed media look!!


This is a wood pallet by Clear Scrap.  Still put this on my door.
acrylic paint.


One of my favorite mini albums by Clear Scraps. 


These were fun! Stamps by Joy Clair.

Thanks for staying with me to the end.  I could
