It's Okay - Blue Line Stamping

After quite a lot of Christmas cards, today’s project is a Thinking of You type card. A dear young lady injured her leg and I wanted to let her know I was thinking of her. She loves nature and animals, so this card is right up her alley.

Isn’t this little guy adorable? I am not totally sure what he is, but I think a hedgehog??? I just love the expression on that face. I cased the stamped area from the Annual Catalog where the Walk In The Woods stamp set is shown. Sorry, I don’t have it in front of me to say the page number.

I wanted to try some more watercoloring with these images. I used my H clear Stamping Block and just a drop of the ink refills. The new Water Painters are awesome to use! I added a bit of water from the painter and mixed with the color I was using each time. The coverage is wonderful. For the grass and leaves, I began with Shaded Spruce and moved to Old Olive. The mushrooms are Soft Suede, Sahara Sand and Crumb cake. The tops are Cherry Cobbler. For Mr Hedgehog, I also used the Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede.

The cut of the card is a little different and I apologize for not showing the inside. I had written inside before I thought that I had not taken pictures. Duh!!! You can see from how the stamped layer hangs over the front Shaded Spruce, that I have cut the top layer of the card. I cut off about 1 1/2″ I believe. I added a piece of the Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper, I love those little trees, to the inside to show where the front layer is cut off. The Whisper White layer to write on is still plenty large enough for a sentiment and writing.

The front sentiment, which I love because it is a little bit different, is from the Walk In The Woods stamp set. I didn’t show it, but the inside was a sentiment from the Life Is Beautiful set.

I have added the Retiring List from the current Mini Catalog. Simply click on the picture of the list and it will open to the three page list. This list has removed the stamps in other than English as well as the bundles. It is cheaper in this sale to purchase those bundled items separately. If you do place an order, please use my December Host Code. It is further down just above the supply list, and on the right side column if you are viewing on an ipad or larger device.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed taking a break from Christmas Cards and will return tomorrow for , you guessed it, another Christmas Card!!! Hugs to you all!
