I wanted to share this new Thomas Kinkade design with you today…thought it would make a nice Sunday entry. I just love this peaceful image and beautiful scripture sentiment. While thinking about how to start this project, I decided to go with a soft blue color scheme to work with the peaceful look and the water part of the sentiment. After stamping a few images, I was trying to decide my layout for this design…how would I fit that sentiment on the design? I was so excited to come up with this idea. I think it’s brilliant 😉 but of course…I may be a bit biased. 🙂 This Streams of Living Water stamp will be released on Tuesday at Cornish Heritage Farms.
Still Waters Design
To create this simple, faded out look, I first inked up my full image with Versamagic Chalk Ink. I then took a folded piece of tissue and lightly blotted an area, just slightly larger than my sentiment. The image was then stamped onto Simply Smooth cardstock by Prism. The blotted area still slightly showed the image and it was the perfect spot to stamp my sentiment.
The rest of the design came together quickly. Some some matting and stitching and then an embellishment I’ve been meaning to try for months. I bought a package of stick pins at Michael’s ages ago and finally pulled them out. So easy to add some beads…yes, from a long ago purchase and stored in my stash…and then adhere them with Ranger Glossy Accents. A great embellishments for this design. I think you’ll be seeing lots more of these in the future. I feel like going into mass-production!
Wishing you a beautiful day,
Julia
