Artist Appreciation Blog Hop

Hey Y'all!

I get to participate in another cool blog hop with some awesome Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. Thanks for joining us! Now I have a confession to make...I am not an art connoisseur. I appreciate beautiful artwork, bur visiting art galleries is not high on my list of fun things to do. So when I chose the artist I was inspired by, it was not from a plethora of knowledge about art and different artists. However, I have always loved Thomas Kinkade"s work. He is known as the "Painter of Light." You can read his biography here.

This is the card I made inspired by his work. Heat embossing, masking, and sponging were the techniques I used to create this card. The "My Meadow" stamp set can be used to create many different looks. The sentiment is from "Here's A Card," a set that has become a staple in my craft room.

Of course, you can't forget the inside of the card.

Card Measurements:

Card Base-Whisper White Thick Cardstock 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

Rococo Rose Layer 4 x 5-1/4

Whisper White top layer-3-3/4 x 5

This hop really stretched my creativity, and I am so glad I was able to participate. I know you will want to hop all the way through and see what artists others are inspired by.
