Make a Difference

Sharon’s (notimetostamp) known for her elegant, soft style…what a wonderful challenge for her to host!

I have been wanting to use the Thomas Kinkade stamps (Cornish Heritage Farms) that I was so graciously gifted by a sweet friend for a while.

Shimmery white cardstock and some extra work on the ribbons take this up a notch, I hope. The main sentiment is embossed in Chocolate Chip craft ink, then the edges sponged with classic ink. The Merry Christmas is a Fancy Flexible Phrases sentiment off to the side…beautiful set, instant class. I know it’s hard to see in the photo, but anywhere you would see a reflection of light in this painting, I have given it the most gentle brush with my Stardust Clear Gelly Roll pen. Then while the ink is still wet, I smudge it around with my fingertip so you can’t actually see the pen lines, just shimmer.

Thanks for looking!

P.S. I ‘lifted’ the ribbon tying off the end from Michelle Wooderson (she ROCKS!).
