Primitive Beginnings

Can I tell you how much I LOVE these primitive country-style stamps from the Rummage Bin at Cornish Heritage Farms!?! We have an old farm house that's decorated primitively, so I jumped on this set. Now I can even make my own home decor items! (Make sure you check back tomorrow to see something fun!)

I love the look of this background with the Primitive Beginnings set! I have a lot of antiques and this stamp mimics old paint cracking and chipping off of the pieces.


I stamped the background onto white card stock. Then, using a sponge, I added Ranger's Scattered Straw Distress ink to get the beautiful golden 'paint' color.

Nestabilites dies are PERFECT for making window cards. Now I'm never limited on the placement of my cut outs. LOVE THEM!!!
