TSG Welcome Home

Here's a card I made with one of the brand spankin' new sets from There She Goes. This one is called Welcome Home and it'll be available for purchase this Thursday, January 1st! Jessica has been showing a bunch of great sneak peeks on her blog over the past few days. Click HERE and check them out if you get a chance!

I knew I wanted to make a card with the topiary from the Welcome Home set and I wanted to use the vanilla ribbon and CS, but I hadn't decided what other colors to pair with it. I was chatting with my buds Janice and Lori last night and asked them to give me a color that they thought would go well with vanilla and an outdoor-style image. Janice picked artichoke and Lori picked Hunter....well, whadda ya know they're both in the Regals family so I said, "Why not put all three colors on the card." So anyway, that was a long way about telling you that my friends helped me plan out the colors for this card. {smile} Thanks Janice! Thanks Lori!

The layout is Amy Rysavy's Sketch #7. This one is from a while ago, but I just discovered all her sketches on her blog. I love your sketches, Amy!

Except for the Hunter panel, everything is up on Dimensionals.

Yesterday when I was checking out the weekly Mojo Sketch on Julee's blog, I saw she did the little sponging trick on the main image with the Spellbinders die still in place and I wanted to try it out. Awesome idea, Julee! Thanks for the inspiration!
