This has been fun, creating with Paper Whimsy images. I used a transparency over a copy of an 1880’s French floral textile, then I framed it with Layers of Color Garden Borders and Beaded Frames art stamps. I made it for Layers of Color Challenge, “Roses”. I used the rose as more of an accent than a theme. As an experiment, I digitally tinted it and came up with a warmer feel on the second one.
Wednesday Stamper’s theme this week is Keyhole. I created my entry on black handmade paper featuring a Paper Whimsy image and Layers of Color Fleur Heart Stamp.
It’s early on a sunny summer day. I just got out of the shower, grab a cup of tea, and step out onto the patio. Taking a deep breath of fresh morning air, I relax in a chair, where I can feel the warmth of the first rays of sun peaking through the trees. The air is crisp, the birds are singing to each other. I glance across the garden, thinking the dew on the leaves will be gone soon in the heat of the day. When suddenly galloping through the field I see our giant prize rooster with our son on it’s back, riding it like a racehorse! I jump to my feet, upsetting my tea and shout, “Russell, don’t ride the rooster!!!” They both stop and look at me as if they do this every morning. And all he can say with total sincerity is, “Why not!”

The theme over at Wednesday Stamper is Summer Tea Party. I dove right in and splashed joyfully, celebrating the colors of summer, the flavors and aromas of delightful teas, and scripted a letter of praise to the hostess for an excellent party! Thank you, I had a marvelous time!
All stamps used in Summer Tea Party are Layers of Color art stamps (Fleur Heart, Garden Borders, Architectural Blocks, and Beaded Frames).

We’ve been working so hard getting our new online boutique opened and running the business. It’s a blessing, but we’re overdue for a break. So the children are staying with Grandparents and my husband and I are getting away to the coast for the weekend! I’m looking forward to relaxing, deep breaths of sea air, leisurely strolls, candlelight dinner, watching the sunset, and peace and quiet. Ah, tranquility!
| With this in mind, I created my artwork for Layers of Color Challenge theme, Summer Respite. I used floral paper, Layers of Color Garden Borders, Fleur Heart and Beaded Frames art stamps. I love my new paper flowers introduced to me by my friend, Heather (Prima Floral Embellishments). | |
| I hope you too, enjoy your summer weekend! |
