Cityscape

I instantly fell in love with the new hostess set In the City the second I saw it. It's totally up my alley: it's cutesy and it includes houses and buildings. I've used some of the images and sentiments on previous projects but it was my first time today actually inking the set to create a scene. It looks even better than I expected! There's a learning curve to figuring out what all of the little individual stamps are, but thankfully, the filler pieces have been placed right next to the outline images on the set sheet, which helps.

Just Add Ink challenge #373 called for stencils, and since our latest set includes a brick wall, I thought it would look awesome with the building images, so it was the starting point of my design. I added past Mojo Monday sketch #286 and ColourQ #304,which had colours that I thought would work well to create a colorful neighbourhood. The sentiment reading something like, "Hope everything is going well in your area."
