Saturday I had the honor and pleasure of spending time brayering and stamping with the one and only Pam124 aka Pamzi. We had such a wonderful time together!!! Last month we both attended a Michelle Zindorf brayer class, so the first thing we wanted to do was try to re-create one of her beautiful scenes.
I brayered this landscape yesterday (without the Tree), and needed a card for my Uncle in NY so went looking for inspiration to complete the scene. So today when I checked out the QFTD challenges I found that one of my favorite stampers was QFTD51 - Quillster aka Jill!!!
Congratulations Jill - you are such an AMAZING stamper, with such an exquisite gallery!! I LOVE so many of your beautiful creations - but as soon as I saw this one I knew I had all the inspiration I needed to finish my card: {Thinking of You}
This card is a CASE of one of my cards - and I've always LOVED how yours came out. So now I'm Casing a Case of my own LOL!!
This card is also for this week's Sketch Challengs - link here: {SC323}
This scene was created yesterday. Today I stamped the Tree image, then very carefully BLEACHED the inner-most portions of the tree and trunk WHITE, so that they could be re-colored green and brown. This works great when using pencils - the bleached paper takes the pigment of the pencil with no trouble.
The leaf embellishments are a gift from Pamzi that she gave me yesterday (along with lots of other awesome goodies), and I was so excited to be able to use them so quickly!! Thanks again PAMZI - you're the BEST!!
There are to scored frames around the image that don't show very well in this photo.
Hope you enjoy your week Jill!!
Thanks everyone for stopping by!
