My friend Jen and I like to stamp together. We rarely get time to, though. Today we spent about 1.5 hours together. I wanted to try my Clear Dollar Stamps barn stamp. Haven't really had a chance to use it. This is what I created. I think you can see by the shadows of the sun that the cow and haystack are on pop dots. I wanted to add a ribbon, but that darn barn is so big it doesn't leave much room for anything else. I then decided to cut off the corner so my pretty patterned paper and the ribbon could be seen.
After making this card the family headed to the pool. I swam with my SCS friend, Lori. Lori lives in Texas. She likes to piggy back on my workouts so she doesn't have to workout herself. So, yes, I swim just by myself, but Lori is with me in spirit. Hey, Lori, we only swam a half mile because I wanted to play with the kids for a bit before the pool closed.

paper: real red, pp from michael's, white

Very cute! And of course, being from Wisconsin you'd do a good job creating that barn scene. The cow looks happy oo, although I hear a rumor that California cows are happier . . .:)
ReplyDeleteThis is totally cute! I love it....and what a great idea to snip the corner soo the ribbon can show.....mygoodness, that barn IS big...bet it was a pain to color...I would have been in the white trim for SURE! Great Job!
