Prima's Julie Nutting Cowgirl Becky - Christmas In the Country Canvas

Christmas in the Country

Christmas in the country - Julie Nutting style! This is Julie Nutting's Becky doll stamp. Isn't she just darling? I thought it would be fun to have her celebrate Christmas.

So it's time for a Prima Ambassador Class!

I'll be teaching a class at Buffalo Stamp and Stuff using this canvas and sweet Becky.

When? Sat Nov 21st. You need to call ahead and reserve your spot.

Time 1:30pm - 4:30pm

Address: 3356 Sheridan Dr, Buffalo, NY 14226

Phone:(716) 834-3540

I stamped the doll using a watercolor paper pad. I dressed her using Prima's Victorian Christmas collection and a few embellishments.

After I dress the doll, I like to give her a nice rich coating of ink on one side like shadowing.

I colored her hair using the Prima water brush and some distress ink. I dip the tip of the waterbrush right into the Distress ink.

The canvas I used is a 5x7 canvas board. I stamped and inked to create the background - as the two images below show.

You can find a large variety of Julie Nutting Stamps right here.

Bright and Cheery Card for November - Flying Unicorns with Studio 75

This card was created using Flying Unicorns Small Art Big Passion kit for November.

Our Small Art Big Passion is all about the love of making cards, tags atc's and anything in between. From Stamps, flowers, paper, embellishments and pretty things in between! These yummy goodies will enhance any of the kits or stand alone .

This month, the papers in the kit are from Studio 75's Splash It collection.

Now I have to tell ya, the kits sell out fast. But don't despair. Flying Unicorn has a pre- sale option. Yep - this is true. Starting on the 20th of every month and running for only 48 hours, you can have a sneak preview of the kit and purchase it if you like it. What a super opportunity to never miss a kit or be as selective as you like.

Scrapbooking should be a passion and not

an obligation…

......but it should not mean that you cannot get our kits either!

You can find all pre-sale details right here.

The Nov kit included the following:

6x6 Paper Pad Splash It from Studio 75, Petaloo Fancy Trim Ivory, Prima Flowers Avante White, Darice Cheese Cloth, Tabs and Tags Royal Menargie Collection Find It Die Cut—Flowers, Hobby House Strawberry Tea, 13@rts mist.

I grabbed some cheesecloth from the main kit and misted it with Prima Lime Wedge Color Bloom Mists. Then I misted Prima's Avante white flowers that came in the Small Art Big Passion kit with 13Arts mists in Gold Yellow and Prima's Color Bloom in Cotton Candy
