Just An Old Fashioned Chair...




I was totally inspired today by Michelle Wooderson's blog that I had to make a card! I just bought this rocking chair image from the EllenHutson site and I thought is just was so cute. This month it is the stamp of the month so that means if you order it, you receive a discount on this stamp! I stamped the image onto the Papertrey Kraft cardstock and then paperpieced the quilt , then coloured the rest of the image with copics...I also added a little touch of white gel pen to the apples and the basket, just to give it that real feel!
If you get a chance, check out the EllenHutson site...for their new Martha Stewart punches, they are to die for...I have a few on their way and can hardly wait to get them!
Have a great Sunday!!!!!

Beautiful card Christine - you work these stamps so well! Great paper piecing for the quilt and such beautiful colours! I got 2 new MS punches this week too (my neighbours went down to the US and picked me up some - soooo much cheaper!!).
Hugs, Danielle

I had to scroll down to see if I already commented on this one, then read your write up and realized it was Michelle's I commented on. LOL. This is adorable. I love the paper piecing too just don't think about doing it too often.
