Welcome Home

This one is another paper tole. I stamped each house 3x's, popped up the same color house, then popped just the roof and door of other color. For the lamp I stamped 2x's and popped up the shade.

I had the sketch from the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, MMSC47, and the color selection from the Color Throwdown, CTD86. Yoyo Yellow, Garden Green, and Soft Suede. I had no other idea where this was going. I wanted to use the lamp from this stamp set, so I knew that Psalm 119:105 would be the perfect sentiment, (from Guiding Light by Rupa Shevde for GKD). I finished the inside, but didn't stamp anything yet. The paper tole also qualifies this card for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge, SSCC32.

From one very sweet design team member, Kristine Breach:

SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

CHALLENGE: and so my challenge is for you to "mount up" parts of your image, aka. Paper Tole technique. This is not simply paper piecing an image, but rather restamping your image 2 or more times and cutting out parts of that image to pop it up and make it 3-dimensional. There are good tutorials here and here and here.

The stamps that I used come from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker, "Victoria's Street". Pretty cute, huh? A-N-D they are clear stamps made in the U S A !!! Thanks Nikki! I won these stamps from the Five(x8+3) Moxie Fab World give-a-way.

Lori, you card is just adorable. I have been seeing a lot of house/village themed cards lately and I just love the comfort of home feeling that they project. You have done an excellent job with this. It is perfect with your verse. Thanks for playing along with us at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.
