Stamped Artwork for Framing - Ancestors

Hello and Happy Valentine’s Day!  Today, I have a very different project to share with you.  In my stamping group, we were challenged to make artwork for framing.  I decided to make this project honoring my ancestors.  

Last year, one of my kids had to do a project on ancestry.  We learned so much about the people who came before us and how they lived.  If you have never looked into your family history, I do recommend it!


Anyhow, I started by stamping my sentiment (don’t you love it?) onto muted yellow cardstock.  I stamped my frames out on scraps from my scrapbox.  I arranged them without gluing down quite yet.  Then, I knew how I wanted to arrange my floral peg stamping so that your eye flows around the piece.


Supplies:  Unity Roots & Wings Stamp set, Recollections Cameo Frames stamp set, Versafine Ink, Rubber Stamp Tapestry Cherry Blossom stamp set, Avery Elle pigment ink in Kraft, Strawberry, Jungle, Cherry, Mimosa.

I would love to enter in Pixie’s Snippets Playground #319!

One of my boys has been hit by the flu, so not sure how much stamping I will get done.  However, since we are sort of stuck at home for the duration, I may get more done.  (If the rest of us don’t get it, that is.). He is exhausted, but not doing too badly, considering how bad the flue season has been for many.  Have a good day and thanks for your kind comments and subscribes.

This is beautiful and I too am into ancestry and have made 2 family scrapbooks so far. I love the stamped flowers and how they twine around the framed piece too. You did a great job and I hope your son feels better soon too!
