SIP133 Flying Home Celebration

Happy Tuesday, peeps!  It's time for a sketch challenge at Stamp Ink Paper!  This one was perfect for me to try out some new goodies, too!

I had been resisting purchasing SU's Blends, but I finally broke down and got them all!  I was intrigued by the image on the little pocket featured on the bottom right corner on page 41 of the Occasions catalog...it used one of the images of Flying Home (same page), masked and stamped twice, then colored in with Blends.  But the key was using a light colored stamp in which to stamp it so it looked very realistic.  So again, I was just "practicing" on a piece of scrap paper and I liked it so much that I used it on today's card:

I only used the top half of the stamp set, inking it up in Sahara Sand ink and coloring it with light and dark Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Blends.  I diecut it with the Stitched Shapes die, and covered the bottom portion with another die cut, then created a banner with Peekaboo Peach and three layers of the "celebrate" from the Celebrate You thinlets, available through SAB.  I put a layer of Adhesive Sheet under each one, which made it very easy to adhere them together!  Here's a close-up:

The DSP is from Delightful Daisy, and I love how the leaves mimic the leaves in the stamped image!  A couple of pearls filled in the white space at the bottom of the circle nicely!

This is really a terrific sketch, and I hope you'll play along with us this week!  The DT has some amazing samples as well!  Check them out at Stamp Ink Paper!

Cassidy began her ukelele lessons yesterday:

She looks a little apprehensive, but Dana said she did very well!  Thanks for popping in today--enjoy your day and be blessed!
