Stampin' Up! Another "Flying Home" Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Hi Stampers, Today we have a sketch challenge and I must say with all the new stamp sets from the Occasions Catalog, it was hard to decide which one to use. It was a quiet, restful day and I wanted to do something quiet and restful, so I colored my heart out. I whipped out my Stampin Blends and the Flying Home stamp set and spent the afternoon coloring three cards. I will be sharing one card today but look for the other 2 on my Alternate Monday blog.

Here is the sketch:

Stampin’ Up! Flying Home:

Here is the recipe:

Card Base: Whisper White 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4

Card Front: DSP Tutti Frutti 5-1/2 x 4-1/4

Mat: Basic Black 5 x 3-3/4

Thin mat: Real Red 4-5/8 x 3-3/8

Art Piece: Whisper White 4-1/2 x3-1/4

The Details:

The Art Piece:

Stamp your image using the stamp from Flying Home using Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Let you image dry or run your heat gun over it to make sure the Alcohol Markers do not bleed
I used both the light and dark pens to highlight and shade
Color and shade your images, here is what I used:
Real Red, for some of the roofs, square door, curtains, dormer, flowers, shutters and rooster tail and comb
Old Olive, was used for some of the roofs, house, leaves on flowers, chimney and banner
Daffodil Delight, was used for houses, roofs, rooster body
Copper, was used for the bird house poles, framing, window box
Crumb Cake, for the shutters, arched front door
Night of Navy for the bird and heart
Smokey Slate for the inside of some of the window along with light pool party for the others

More Details:

Attach your DSP to the card front
Attach your Black mat to the DSP
Attach your art piece to the real red mat and wrap a piece of glitter black ribbon around the bottom
Adhere the art piece and mat to the black mat with dimensionals
Stamp your sentiment onto the banner using black ink. The sentiment is from the Fruit Basket stamp set
Attach your sentiment with dimensionals
Add your black bow and the card is finished.
