Welcome to the Neighbourhood

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here, my Time For Tea Designs project is a card that would be perfect to welcome someone new to the neighbourhood. These adorable houses from Sweet Village are so fun to colour; I love the tiny elements in the stamp set (bushes, sweets, coffee and ice cream).

I created a slimline card base (8.5 by 3.5 inches) and used the Concord & 9th inks Aqua Sky and Sprout to ink blend on the sky and grass with my Beautiful Rainbow Blender Brushes. I used a cloud stencil in my stash for the sky and used low tack tape to mask it while I ink-blended the grass.

I added splatter in both colours using a paintbrush and some water for added interest.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from the Sweet Village stamp set and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.

The small grouping of flowers, birds and the bee are from the stamp sets Just Married, Love Is In the Air and Oops a Daisy respectively. 

I adhered the images to the card base using liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for dimension.

The congrats sentiment is from You’re Engaged I stamped and die-cut it with its coordinating die. 

I used the New Home Sentiment Dies to cut into black cardstock. I used foam tape to adhere the letters to the card. I added white gel pen accents to all the letters with a Gelly Roll Pen.
