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! 
Option 1: select 6 sets and get a the Feels Like Home stamp set #156607 free

Option 2: pick 13 sets (WOW) and pay only $99 then also pick a free bundle (as long as you do it by Sept 30th when Saleabration ends. I love collecting things, don't you?

Dimensions: thick Basic White 5 1/4 x 4" ish (for blended layer)

Here's a few other Feels Like Home ideas from Stampin' Up! 

Frightfully Cute and Textures and Frames Tombstone Box and Card + 4 extra colored cards

I was struggling to use the Saleabration Textures and Frames set and after consulting a similar set in the Stampin' Up 2021-2022 Annual catalog (Watercolor Shapes) I saw a card layout that just made everything click! Don't hesitate to use your Catalog as an Idea Book!  I started with making this cute card with Frightfully Cute stamp set and then just HAD to make the Tombstone Treat Box!  Aren't the Tombstone Boxes cute?  The colors I used for the swoosh from top to bottom are Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody, Pale Papaya and Petal Pink! See the video below. 

Textures and Frames #156616 stamp set is FREE with $50 purchase! 

Then.....I just couldn't stop!  So I made the following cards after the video. 

Colors of cards with swooshes listed from bottom to top (background swooshes are the color of the base in full stamped and 2nd generation of same color): 

Highland Heather Base: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia, 2nd generation Fresh Freesia (that just means don't re-ink it!)
