I have another Country Home stamp set card today. I really am loving this set. For today I combined Country Home with Love What You Do stamp set. I almost named the post Country Pitcher, LOL! The pitcher reminds me of the old blue metal dishes that were speckled and usually had a tad of rust on them. Am I dating myself? HaHa. Anyway, I turned it into a vase.

Isn’t that Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper just beautiful? Stampin’ Up! continues to top themselves on the beauty of the DSP. This pack has each sheet with one side that is either pearly or copper. It is just “WOW!!
Because I wanted a blue pitcher, I chose to focus on the blue of the DSP. My base card is Blueberry Bushel. I have used it before, but when I put it with this DSP it just seemed to brighten. My coloring is with the Stampin’ Blends. I love how they seem to blend themselves and do not leave lines. I am definitely not a great blender!
To finish off the card I knew it needed something but I did not want to cover up the DSP. So I added the Pearlized Doily. It sort of blended into the paper, so I backed it with a Blueberry circle. The sentiment is stamped and backed with Blackberry Bliss. I added just a single pearl to go with the pearlized paper and doily.
Thank you for visiting today! I very much appreciate it. I have a complete supply list at the bottom of the page. Also I have included the measurements just below. Thanks again and please stop back tomorrow.

Oh My !! I knew as soon as I saw the Country Home stamp set that it had to come to my house. But actually playing with it is even better than I expected. And the milk can is my all time favorite. I have an old milk can that my Mother had probably 50 years ago. Another reason I love this set.

I paired this sweet set with the Country Lane Designer Series Paper, as well as the Subtle Dynamic Embossing Folder. I could not resist using the Cotton in the DSP to pair with the Cotton in the arrangement in the milk can.
A great bonus to his sweet stamp set is that it is photopolymer. This makes aligning images so easy. I was able to perfectly align the flowers on the top of the milk can. Easy Peasy!! I stamped everything in Smoky Slate Ink to have a softer outline. Coloring everything with the Stampin’ Blends is so easy. They leave no lines and you do not need to be a professional to blend them. I thought of dried cotton stems so I went over those with the light Crumb Cake Blend. I don’t believe you can tell from the photo but I used Wink of Stella on the white for the cotton.
