Feels Like Home Fussy Coloring Lesson

 

I earned this stamp set Feels Like Home for free with a purchase last month, and if I'm being honest it sat on my shelf for quite some time.

 I do tend to shy away from what I call "fussy coloring" stamp sets. But... once a stamp set enters my craft room, I do like to make at least one card with it. And...I love a challenge. THEN I saw a video from Patty Bennett, a very talented Stampin' Up demonstrator using this set making this very card and I was floored.  I quite thought I could never achieve this, then I did. The moral of the story is...it's just ink and paper. Don't be scared to try something new. Enough about me, now on to the card!  I used a gazillion blends to color the stamped area and the Color Lifter blend to make the vanishing brick background- great idea from Patty. 

Here is a link to ALL the items and markers I used that you can purchase here. Grab up some markers for yourself!
