When I used this image before, it was for an invitation to a BBQ - this time I thought I'd do a card to send to everyone AFTER the BBQ telling them we enjoyed it and to come back again. Maybe I'll even wear my pink gingham dress next time! LOL! Yeah, right! You won't find me in much of anything ever unless it's shorts, jeans, or sweats - depending on the weather! That's just one of the nice things about being retired! Besides that, if I'm not mistaken the gingham makes you look a little chubbier!
Then image is from Art Impressions ( LOVE IT) and the sentiment from Kitchen Sink Stamps (also LOVE). I did some paper piecing, colored it with Copics, a little zig zag stitching, and added the bow. It's mounted on Crumb Cake but after taking a photo it just looked so blah - so I added a thin strip of the Brilliant Blue to each side. I'm still now sure why the white around the sentiment looks duller than the white on the card as it's the same paper......but no amount of fiddling with the shadows, etc. helped - so - again, what you see is what you get!
I'll enter this is the challenge at Art Impressions (Stitching or Fabric).
Thanks for stopping by..........and y'all come back now, you hear!

ReplyDeleteWhy is she hiding that burger?? LOL
Love it! I NEED that sentiment stamp :-) Always love the stitching you do - you make it look so easy.
ReplyDeletehahahah... it is cute & funny & made me giggle. Great image & layout & the way you coloured her face/cheeks is spot on - it looks just like I remember my Gramma's cheeks looking.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely made my day and made me smile! Love the gingham dress and you've colored it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteHilarious card, Lynn. I, too, love that image and sentiment. Nice stitching and paper piecing as well as coloring. Enjoy your weekend. I arrived in California last night at 11:00PM haven't slept yet. Just noticed the posting below. Fabulous-that was a lot of work to make that arrow. Terrific card and I'm sorry I'm behind on commenting.
ReplyDeleteThis is just as cute as can be! I love gingham so you had me at the ribbon but add on your fabby coloring and funny sentiment, this is a winner! x0x0

Fantastic image and fab coloring on it, Lynn! Terrific paper piecing. Now I know why I appear to be so much overweight -- it's all the gingham I wear, right? :-D
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! The stitching is fantastic and I love the gingham bow and coordinating dress! Great idea to use the same image for the thank you cards!
ReplyDeleteI always thought gingham was for aprons and tablecloths, but have to agree that it does appear to make her look a little plump! :)
fabulous - and thanks for the smile Lynn.
ReplyDeleteLove the gingham frock - but definitely not for me!!
Blessings
