Toot, toot

This may seem like a bit of an odd title. Especially as I don’t have any “toots” to share with you today. What I do have is a card created with a stamp from a new line that CHF is releasing today…B& O Railroad. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line will be a hit with railroad and vintage enthusiasts and I can’t wait to see what new images will be released next.

For this design, I decided to try a very feminine look as this great East & West Historic Poster image had beautiful flowers and vintage cherubs. I very softly colored it in with Copic markers and then sponged the edges. A lot of stitching and Basic Grey Porcelain patterned paper added softness as well.

Quick Tip: You can stitch right over your ribbon if you lay it flat. It will keep your ribbon nicely secure and allow you to adhere your top image over the ribbon and still stitch it.
