House is a Home to the rescue

Hi everyone!  I have a couple challenge cards to share today.  First up, my real estate agent has asked me to make 20 Welcome Home cards for him!  I don't do many custom orders, but he is such a great agent AND Ippity just released the set, House is a Home - it seemed destined - how could I say no??  So be prepared to see lots of Welcome Home cards -LOL!

This cutie card not only uses Ippity's  House is a Home set, but also uses the dotted background stamp from the Love in Return set.  I stamped the houses, colored them with copic markers, and cut them out.  The strip of pattern paper is from Bella Blvd.  I love the colors of their lines.  The tone is earthy and no so girlie, perfect for Home cards.

I used today's Taylored Expressions sketch #124 for my layout.  Perfect sketch for little houses, huh?!?  The small brown bling is from the Round Wheel by Zva Creative and the brown twill ribbon is from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Next up is my card from last weekend for the Featured Stamper challenge on SCS.  This week we are celebrating vdutchr. I cased this cute card here. I kept the size of the card, layout and use of circles. But I changed up almost everything else.

This is also for the last Technique Tuesday challenge, TTSC1, to use TT stamps. I used the Thanks for Everything and Wise Guys sets. I also used some of the Technique Tiles -the FUNdamental Rings. LOVE these!  This was also for the Embellish Magazine challenge, to use the colors: pink, brown and green AND use a bird of some kind.  But, I didn't complete it in time to enter it!  OOPS!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
