I had fun stamping this weekend. It’s been a couple of weeks since I had the opportunity to get inky and it was a pleasure to enjoy the creative process. I had to clean up my work area before I could even see my desk but it was well worth the work.
Today Jay Jay is hosting a Stampavie Design Team blog challenge with a sketch by Diane. I don’t do very
well working with so many pieces in a layout so I created my background scene and cut it into tiles matching the layout. I stamped the Penny Johnson fishing bear, painted and cut out and popped up over the scene to represent the tag area. It may be a bit of a stretch for the sketch but I had fun making it. Don’t look too closely or you will see that my SU paper cutter cannot cut straight lines anymore. Everything is a bit crooked.
I created this barn scene yesterday and got it totally finished before I realized that I had stamped the barn a little crooked on the oval. I had so much watercoloring in the sky and ground area and hand painting the trees that I didn’t notice. After all that work I decided it wouldn’t matter if it was a little wonky.
It was my turn to post the Stampavie blog post this week and I chose this sweet little Gillian Roberts Baking a Treat image to work with. I sketched in the floor boards with an artist pen and painted all the bright colors using a brush and reinkers.
I hope you all have a wonderful week. I am on the final count down to go to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina for our annual family vacation/reunion.
I saw your Fishing Bear at the Stampavie DT-page and had to come straight over and leave you a little word:
I loved your card! It’s so creative and so inspirational! Absolutly adorable!
Have a great day!

Love the fishing bear…at first glance, I thought he was in a red boat! DUH. As far as the adorable barn, it all depends on your perspective, Kittie! (:>
Hey Miss Kittie…it seems like it’s been ages since I came to visit!!! Your cards are sooo AWESOME, gf…every little detail is pure perfection!!! The little fishing bear is adorable and I love your wonky barn (ya know the best kinda barns are just a little tilted…LOL)!!! The image on your last card is precious and so beautifully colored!!! Hope all is well in your little corner of the world…I got to play with Bev and Holly on Saturday…Whoohoo!!!
All your cards are adorable Kittie! I thought barns were crooked…:o) It’s not even noticeable – looks like it’s on a little hill.
Take care and STAY POSITIVE!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!! They’re all delightful, Ms. Kittie! Love that barn … I’m certain that ours was on a sandy slope for real! I would so love to be in that boat, fishing the day away!!
Enjoy your time away!!
(((hugs)))
Love all your creations Kittie. I’m so glad you’re back; I was afraid work had swallowed you up. Keep on stampin’, Wendy
You could stamp that barn upside down and create a scene with it and I would think that it was the new “in” thing, heee! Kittie these are positively adorable…that little fishing bear card is about the sweetest card I have ever seen!
