When I first looked at this weekend’s sketch from Stamping 411, I thought no way. There is no way I can make a card with this sketch. It is so far out of my comfort level! I just couldn’t wrap my brain around all of the small layers. Here, see for yourself:

But then I started thinking about a card I wanted to make for a colleague who just moved into a new house. I knew that I wanted to use some of the super cute paper with the little houses on it from the Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad. As I flipped through the pad, I realized that I could use some of the different patterns to follow the card sketch! So I played around with the different houses, and this is what I came up with:

Stamps: Vintage Labels
Ink: Bermuda Bay
Paper: Kraft, Whisper White, Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad
Other: Curly Label Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Whisper White 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon

Don’t forget! The Vintage Label Stamp Set and Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad are FREE with a $5o but are only available through March 31st, 2010.
