I think this image, Foxglove Cottage, has a lovely warm feeling to it and it would make a great card for someone special returning home from a trip or someone moving into a new place of their own. I blended the first layer of colour on this one with Sansodor to provide a soft base layer and then added shading and texture over the top with the same pencils. A little bit of Glossy Accents gives the windows and lamp a glassy sheen and a white pen adds highlights. I used a fine paint brush to transfer the white ink in places where I wanted very fine detail.I made the sentiment panel by cutting a frame with two Nestability dies and colouring it with a Krylon pen. Once the Krylon had dried, I sponged black pigment ink over the top to 'antique' it a bit and I filled the centre of the plaque with Glossy Accents so that it looks a bit like a ceramic name plate.
So... the exciting news is that I submitted this card to the recent Design Team call at Cornish Heritage Farms and I heard earlier this week that I was one of three people picked to join the team *big grin*. I am absolutely thrilled to be joining a really talented bunch of stampers and I'm sure I'll be learning loads!

That card is fantastic, so much beautiful detail. No wonder they snapped you up with work like that to show off their stamps, eh?
Fantastic card and fantastic news!! I love CHF and their stamps (not the Kincaids especially - they wear me OUT!! lol!
Og My Gosh JOANNE, your TK stamped image is just out of this world girl. You must give me the details (step by step) of how you achieved such a gorgeous work of art. Everything about it is just so perfect. I have been for a while thinking of getting a TK stamp but am too intimidated. Your card has inspired me to get one now.
I would also like to congratulate you on your DT assingment with CHF. You deserve a spot in their DT. You have amazing talent and you work is always spectacular. Hope to still see you in our little forum.
