It's not often you get something for free but this stamp set was a freebee from Stampin' up during the Sale a ration period. It's called feels like home.
I am disappointed with the sentiments that accompany this lovely image. I really think they should have included a sentiment or two that would be appropriate for new home cards.
Instead they have included  sentiments like... missing you, thank you, a friendship quote and another bizarre quote.  I don't think any of them fit with this image. Stampin' up do not have any stamp sets that include images or words suitable for people moving house and I am  feeling they have missed an opportunity to include such sentiments.  So I  resorted to typing up a couple of my own sentiments for these cards. Well that's my little rant over.... I guess I should say I coloured I didn't find this the easiest of images to colour, even with my trusty Copics. There is an awful lot of fine detail in this image.
I used a  fine white posca pen to add highlights and  the tiny white blooms.
You may also notice I extended the brickwork out at the sides. to do this I used the chisel tip of the marker pen as a stamp to create the extra brickwork.
