Hi again!
Just wanted to share a card I made for my sister- and brother-in-law to celebrate their new home.
I used the
Neighbourhood Jumbo Wheel and
Stampin' Around Wheel Guide to stamp a couple of rows of houses on Very Vanilla cardstock. I then coloured one of the houses on the 'spare' row using Not Quite Navy, Blushing Bride and Old Olive ink from the Classic Stampin' Ink Pads and my new
Aquapainters.
Tip: before opening your Ink Pad, squash it between your fingers and thumbs to transfer some of the ink from the pad to the lid. Then you can use this as a palette from which to pick up ink with your Aquapainter.
I then cut out the painted house and mounted it on foam pads onto the corresponding one on the row of houses. The houses were matted on to Pear Pizazz cardstock which was punched with the
Scallop Trim Border punch. The base card is Peach Parfait, one of the In Colours.
Unable to resist adding a bit more detail, I stamped lots of little bees (from
So Happy For You Sale-a-Bration set) in VersaMark ink as a background.
The sentiment was done on the computer and printed onto Very Vanilla cardstock.
I enjoyed painting the one little house so much, I'm tempted to go back and paint the others! But I'm trying to stay 'clean and simple' and there's always the risk I'll mess it up.. so I really should quit while I'm ahead. :o)
Have a lovely day!
