It feels like ages since I've entered a Tuesday Trigger. The current challenge inspired me very directly. This is my card.
and this is the inspiration
I really wanted to add that angled sidewalk in, too, but couldn't work out a solution for that one! Such a cute picture. As soon as I saw it, I was thinking housewarming cards. I wanted to use the same colour combination, because I found it unexpectedly appealing (I NEVER in a million years would have put these colours together myself). I didn't have the inspiration picture in front of me while I made the card, I looked at it first, took a note of the colours, and then went to work on my own version.
I used one of my favourite little stamp sets, which doesn't get enough love. It is Stampin' Up! Good Neighbors. The sentiment is from PTI Think Big Favorites #19 (I think). Colours are SU! Perfect Plum, Pumpkin Pie, Pretty in Pink, Crumb Cake.
My husband looked at my card and asked me how many stamps I used to make it... he's usually fairly unimpressed with my "flat" cards (one-layer, or close to one-layer), but I got the idea that he realised there was a bit of work putting this one together. I used 9 separate stamps (with 13 different opportunities to make a mistake), and my trusty stamp-a-ma-jig.
Thanks for dropping by. That was a lot of words to get through!
