Hi everyone. I have a bit of news to share today. Not big, huge life-changing news (thank goodness)–just “little” (but still important) news.
As most of you know, I’ve been part of the Cornish Heritage Farms Design Team for a while. I’ve had a great time being part of the CHF family, and I truly appreciate all of the wonderful opportunities that experience has afforded me, as well as all of the dear friends I’ve made there, but I have decided to leave the team. I’ll still be using CHF images (at a minimum, you know I can’t go without the fabulous Kim Hughes sets), but I’ll have a little more free time for publication work, F-U-N (isn’t that what stamping is supposed to be about?) and who knows what else. It’s a big change for me, but I feel certain it’s a good one.
Now, moving on…
Warm Wishes
I waited a long time (or so it seems) to find this image by Whiff of Joy. So cute. I’m still experimenting with shading backgrounds and might have gone a bit overboard with the “glow” here. Maybe she has a candle behind her…or maybe her sweater is on fire. Eek! Anyway, I’m practicing. 🙂
As an afterthought, I decided to add a bit more dimension to the card so I stamped the image a second time, colored the sweater cuffs, her hands and the cup and cut out only those parts (as one piece). I glued the cuffs over the image but placed a pop dot under the cup. Much better! 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope to get back to my more regular timing with posting, but my first goal is to clean my stamp room. It is a very scary place right now. But I’ll be back soon! I have a “Just for Fun” challenge with Carole just around the corner! Have a great day!
