I just couldn't put down my new SU set from yesterday, and to me it had a really Laura Ingalls feel to it, especially after I colored it and paired it with this Cosmo Cricket Early Bird paper (I've really gotten good use out of this pad of paper!). This is Mercy's Sketch this week too.
This little girl looks just like another of my nieces, so it will be for her, and I know she loves Little House on the Prairie too. She is colored with Copic markers, and then I antiqued the main image and some of the paper with Ranger Distress Ink - Tea Stain for a better match to the DP.
See my multiple types of stitch sewing? Sort of an accident actually, but I like it! It goes from straight stitch, to large zig zag to small zig zag to straight stitch again.
And that's it for today! I'll be back Friday with something Flourishes!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Christine!! I tell you, I can't get enough of your fabulous coloring....stunning!! I watched that show too. Even in Germany we had it ;D. It was sort of an Saturday afternoon tradition to watch it ;D. Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
ReplyDeleteI loved Little House too - the books AND the show! your papers are beautiful and your coloring of the prairie girl is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Little House on the Prairie! Read the books over and over and over again and now I get to read them to my kids :)
ReplyDeleteI just ordered this set too and was planning on playing with it tonight! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration, Christine!!
Ah yes, Little House on the Prairie was a staple in our house too. Just loved that show, but I'm afraid "Pa" stole the show for me LOL! My daughter has read and reread the entire series and watched the DVDs at least twice already. Must say I have enjoyed watching a few of them with her. Oh that they would make shows like than now!! Your card is totally adorable and fabulously coloured.
ReplyDeleteWow Christine I love this creation
