Inspired By {Everything Kitchens}

 This week Amy is sharing the Everything Kitchens site and pinterest boards for the Inspiration destination at Splitcoaststampers. And It seems like most of the people in my family are good cooks and have that Whole read the recipe and know what to add to it to enhance it gene. ( that gene skipped me) fortunately hubs has it. ;) but, I did spend some time poking about the store, seeing things that I do have in my kitchen as my mom was a kitchen gadget collector and she hooked hubs into that also so, I was mostly window shopping for gift ideas as I looked at the site and I liked these vintage looking recipe cards seen here. And that had me looking at all the recipe cards and The Aprons. I liked this particular chicken series. As it happens a lot of my old recipe card stamps and food gift tag type stamps are all from Stampin'Up! and I have these stamps inside the same box together so, playing around with these and some Artist Loft watercolor paper this is what I have done so far.

None of these things actually look that much like what is in the store but, they have elements from all the things that got morphed in my head as I was painting these bitty stamps. The tag on the top was cut with a Dress my Craft tag die, the From the kitchen of was cut with a Penny Black stitched rectangle and then the layer under it is some Riding hood red cut with a Blanket stitched die, The recipe card stamp was cut with an Waffle flower A7 rectangle die. And that is as far as I got with it. the truth is most of the things I know how to cook, I learned them just watching and stirring and tasting a spoon so, I don't actually collect recipes on paper but, I like the idea of it and I do have some but, I have not written any down in a long time. I think I like the idea of it more then the actual doing of it but, I am also thinking about making a few more little almost finished things like this that could be gifted out quickly because, the art part is already done. Well, that's the plan anyways. If you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge here at Splitcoaststampers. Thanks for stopping by.
