Thomas Kinkade Make a Wish Cottage

I did not plan to post this card but I don't have anything else made tonight. My poor daughter is feeling so bad and I have been trying to help her out. She has severe vertigo and can not get up to do anything. I had to take her to the hospital and they have ruled out a lot of stuff but she has to go back to a specialist now and hopefully they will find out what is wrong. She has been having severe headaches for 2 months now. I feel so sorry for her. The medicine doesn't get rid of the dizziness but it makes her so sleepy she doesn't notice it so much.

This is a Thomas Kinkade stamp called "Make A Wish Cottage". I purchased it from Cornish Heritage Farms.

I posted the other Thomas Kinkade card I made in a class, but this one I did on my own at home. I am pretty sure I can do a better job and that is why I had not planned to post it. But since I want to get something posted will show it to you. These stamps are very fun to work with. This one did not take me nearly as long to complete because I didn't have to wait for the colors others were using.

Maybe tomorrow I will have time to work with another one of the new stamps sets I purchased from Gina K Designs. There are so many beautiful cards posted on StampTV which are made with stamps from the newest release. You can go check them all out here.

I love to learn new techniques. I purchased this Thomas Kinkade stamp, "It Doesn't Get Much Better" from Cornish Heritage Farms Stamps at least a year ago because my son loves to fly fish. I have tried several ways to color it and be happy with it. I was never successful. I was recently in a little stamp store in my area and noticed some finished Kinkade cards. The owner told me they were going to have a class on how to color these stamps. I immediately said that is a class I need. That is where I have been today.

There is not much instruction I can give you on this. It was completed with chalk inks. It took about three hours to complete. There is a lot of blending of colors. I am sure I will get better doing this with some more practice, but for the first card, I think it turned out well enough to post. The whole Kinkade series of stamps are so beautiful. I have the "Make A Wish Cottage" stamp I want to color now. I don't have very many colors in the chalk inks, so need to make a purchase and get lots of colors before I can attempt that one.

What do you think? Have you ever colored any of these stamps? If so, I would love to hear about how you did it. I always love to read your comments.

Have a wonderful weekend.
