My first card with this beautiful stamp from Shirley (wannabcre8tive). I love it! Shirley got it because it looks like my friend Natalie (Flatbdgrl), and it really does! I needed a TY card- and could not wait to ink this up!
It is stamped in versa mark and embossed with black EP. The shirt and jeans are paper pieced from DP, and the entire image was masked to add the background. I have to mention Phyllis Gunn here,(Tater). She is my inspiration for the background. Tater has a way to 'add movement' to her bg's by adding the swirls! I love this idea. Please see her gallery for a mix of 'movement' and 'Zindorf'- she has really created her own style! Tater's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Shirley- thank you so much for this stamp! I will probably be playing around with it for days! LYMI

That didn't take you long. Love how you have made such a wonderful background. Great coloring, love the paper piecing and distressing. You did a wonderful job on Nat and her horse.

My my my! This is lovely! I love that stamp! You did a very nice job coloring. I cannot, however, accept your wonderful compliment without telling you that using the swirls in stuff I learned from Michelle Zindorf. Isn't it the very meaning of life when you gain rewards just by passing along simple kindnesses? A few years ago, Nancy Crone gifted me with A LOT of cross stitch thread and pattern books and from that I have spent many hours doing a hobby I love and then passing on the creations to special people in my life. Pat you certainly are a good hearted person yourself and I thank you for helping to shore up my belief that there is good in this world and it doesn't cost a cent. God bless you and yours and I'm still blushing knowing that someone cased me!
