Stamping on muslin can be a challenge...colouring it even more of a challenge. The wheelbarrow is in the new releases this month from Class Act Stamps and was stamped with stazon and coloured with die ink and make-up applicators. I added the grass with a sharpie pen. The sewing around the outside was done with DMC thread and the needle coloured with a paint pen. The spools are from Nellie Snellen wound with twine. The distressing from Tim Holtz and sponged on top of a mesh sheet. The vertical Birthday greeting fits just right into this little space. Thanks Jeanne for a great challenge.

Sue, your work here is completely gorgeous! (I can hardly stamp straight on paper!) Lol! I love the texture of this and your warm colors. Those wee spools are delish!

This is a real masterpiece. You really have a gift with color and to tackle creating on muslin is really brave of you. The end result is fantastic. This card has gorgeous coloring, great texture and a wonderful layout. May it go to someone truly worthy. I am putting this into my favs so I can go back and stare at it again; I could never duplicate this. WOW!

I LOVE this card....absolutely beautiful !
You do such a great job with that coloring. It's hard enough to stamp on a piece of fabric and even harder to add colors, right?
The spools ,twine and the needle add up a lot...last but not the least, I love the background. It's just a perfect match with the muslin!
