New Home

Evening all,

Well here's to the end of another week. For those of you expecting a Crafty Catz DT card then I'm afraid to say you're going to have to wait a couple of weeks as the DT is on vacation. We're back on Friday 5th September with our next challenge.

 

But rather then leave the blog empty for a couple of weeks, I do have a few projects to share with you. So kicking off today I have a New Home card for my Best Friend and her Boyfriend. As this is her second house I had to go trawling through the old photos to see what I made her last time - as she keeps most of the cards I make her, it would have been too embarrassing to give her the same design again.

 

Luckily, I have a fabulous Tiddly Inks image on hand and plan up my sleeve.

I printed the house onto brown textured paper from Hero Art's: Life of the Party 6x6 pad. I then dug out my whisper pens to colour over the top and add texture to the building and highlight the roofs etc. I prefer the whisper pens to promarkers for this task as they're not as heavy, so you can add the colour but not loose the original texture.

 

I used a square from a 12x12 sheet of What's Up - Friendly skies for the background. Printed a sentiment onto some scrap red paper and then used this fab picket fence that a friend of mine sent me and finished the hole thing with some flowers, MS butterflies, gems and stickles.

 

I was thrilled with how it turned out in the end.

 

I would like to enter this card into two challenges this week:

Creative Inspirations: Anything Goes

Tiddly Inks Challenge: Anything Goes

 

Hope you all have a great bank holiday weekend if you're in the UK or just a great normal weekend for everywhere else in the world. Until next time, happy crafting
