I am so excited to be the September Guest Designer for DeNami Design stamps! This is my debut creation as GD, made for the September DeNami Theme Challenge: Animals.
The path to the barn was clipped freehand from a piece of fine sandpaper I picked up in a sandpaper variety pack for $1 at our local Dollar Tree store. I stamped all four animals onto watercolor paper and used dye inks to watercolor paint them.
Paper: Cardstock from DeNami Design; all patterned paper from Provo Craft, Canson watercolor paper
Ink: Versamark, Versafine onyx
Accessories: SU scallop trim border punch, EK picket fence border punch, SU 0.75" circle punch, EK 1" scalloped circle punch, white embossing powder, heat tool, dimensionals, embroidery floss, paintbrush, sandpaper
Techniques: embossing, watercolor painting, hand stitching

These animals are so cute! Love the picket fence and the white trim too. Thanks for explaining your gravel trail- that is a great idea for beach cards, too

So cute Emily, I met the owner at the troy expo a couple of weeks ago. Nice lady and she told me her daughter does most of the cards that I was admiring~

Cute! Lovely barn - I want a barn! Our animals have to tough it out in the field or forest... one day.... These are cute little images and I love your little path. My animals never follow the path so these must be really well trained animals - LOL!
