Art Impressions Challenge 179 - House & Home

Hello!!

It's the second week of Art Impressions Challenge 179, House & Home. The DT is showcasing NEW Cottage Stamps and Die!!

I started by stamping the cottage on a white card base and again on a piece of scrap paper. Next i stamped the image from the That's You set. With my Spectrum Noir colored pencils i colored the two images on the scrap paper. The image on the card base, i just colored the basic solid colors.

With the die that comes with the Cottage set, i die cut the door and window from the card base and my scrap paper house. I cut out the window and door from the card base house, then fussy cut out the scrap paper house and placed it over the card house with foam tape.

For the vanity, i fussy cut it out and adhered it to the inside of the card, so you can see it through the window and door from the front. Then i stamped the sentiment on the inside the card.

Now my card would pretty plain if i left it at that, but i wanted to create a little scene. So i found some cool tiny sun pattern paper and die cut it with two stitched rectangles to cut a frame. I also cut two clouds from some blue pattern paper. After this i was playing with the clouds, and i was like hey, if i cut these from green paper and stood them up the could be bushes!! So that's what i did!!

I added the clouds flush to the card, and a little behind the house. The frame and bushes were added with foam tape, popped up to the same level as the house. And wa-la a cute little scene for my house! I love how you can see the vanity through the window and door!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be back later this week and weekend with some exciting sneak peeks!!
