I have noticed that when chickens quit quarrelling over their food, they often find that there is enough for all of them. I wonder if it might not be the same way with the human race.

Sunny Sunflowers ...

Colors of the summer sun illuminate the meadow. Gold, the massed gold of hawkweed; the burnished gold of black-eyed Susans; the delicate, demure gold of stargrass, cousin of the daffodil; and the sun's very rays captured by the field's wild sunflowers. ~Hal Borland, Seasons, 1973

Flocker Tribe ...

I am thankful for the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. ~Nancie J. Carmody

Good morning!

Today I am sharing a card made from one of the many images from Sherry West Designs “Flockers” set. This particular image will be coming out as a rubber stamp at Stamp Addicts!

I absolutely love this image and think its great for those cards from everyone, or a large family or well, just because!

I don’t make slim line cards often but this image is perfect for that!


The ground was created using Distress markers and a water brush.
The sky was sponged using Stampin ink.

The Stencil from Rabbit Hole Designs comes with separate little clouds that I secured with masking fluid. Once set I was able to go over them with the ink. Then I carefully removed the stencils and rubbed off the masking fluid.

Supplies
  • Image printed on Stampin Up! Whisper White Cardstock
  • Cloud Stencil from The Rabbit Hole Designs
  • Distress marker pens
  • Ink from Stampin Up!
  • ProMarkers
  • Sentiment from Studio G

I chose to use the dog, one of the cats, the pig and the dinosaur (because why not) and colored then with my ProMarkers.

I don’t have any littles in school but my Sister-in-law is an elementary teacher so I think I will send this to her since school is back in session!

  • Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base) and Stampin up!
  • Corner punch from WRMK
