A Perfect Summer Day

In the middle of January! Here is another preview of today's release of brand new Thomas Kinkade stamps by Cornish Heritage Farms.

Here's the recipe for those who want the details:
A Perfect Summer Day is stamped with Versafine Olympia Green onto Kraft cardstock by The Paper Company and trimmed down to size. Image is lightly tinted in a few select areas with Prismacolor colored pencils. Image is then matted on Squareweave Chocolate by The Paper Company and the edges are distressed. Hemp is blanket stitched to upper portion of image panel. Edges of image panel are sponged with Ranger Vintage Photo ink, including the hemp stitching. Create card base with Kraft cardstock and spatter brown speckles of ink refill using an old paint brush. Edge card with Ranger Distress Antique Linen and Vintage Photo inks. Stamp sentiment in lower right corner using Vintage Photo ink. Adhere image panel to card using dimensional foam. Add 3 antique brads to left side of card and slightly tap brad tops with hammer to distress.

Have a perfect day!
