Claire is hosting a Waltzingmouse Stamp Blog Waltz with an Americana theme this month. My absolute favorite! My favorite artist is Warren Kimble, and his art inspired my Americana card...
I used a number of WMS stamp sets for this card: Gingham & Co., the star from Midnight Feast, the circle pattern from Teeny Trees, the sweater pattern from Faux Fun, the stitched pattern from Off Beat Backgrounds, a sentiment from Sewing Box Hugs, and the saltbox house from Blessed by You. Made my quilt by cutting mini square nesties and stamping the patterns on them.
Since I am so late posting, I am off to check out a slice of Americana a bit later today. I cannot WAIT to see everyone's creations. Thanks so much to Claire for celebrating her "American cousins" this month!

Wow, Kelly, you used so many great stamps on this one. I love it. The colors are so Americana and I love that faux stitching for the hills the house sit on. Don't forget me when you go to order your next order of stamps!

LOVE this card!! Your folk art designs are always so amazing. The quilt is wonderful and I am so glad to see you use that little house. That set is one of my favorites but I haven't used the house yet.
