Once again it's a very simple card, I started with a 15 x 15cm white card blank and blended blue distress ink across the top portion for the sky. I used the stitch and cut die from the Spellbinders Curved Borders 2 set to cut two pieces of green card for the background hills and overlapped them for the bottom portion of the card.
I stamped the house in black on white card and fussy cut it. I coloured it with water colour pencils leaving some of it in the original white, and used the smallest size of purple adhesive candies to add a bit of shine and glitter to the centres of the flowers. The clumps of flowers on the hills and the flying birds are hand drawn and the sentiment is stamped in white ink.
You could use any kind of marker to colour the house and add a variety of different embellishments to the background area.
Materials used:
- 15 x 15cm blank white card and envelope
- Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad Tumbled Glass
- White and green card
- Spellbinders Curved Borders 2 dies
- Bless This House clear stamp
- Colorbox Black pigment ink pad
- Frost White Colorbox Catseye ink pad
- Purple Adhesive Candies
- Foam Ink Blending Tool
- Apple and Amethyst ProMarker Pens
A great stamp with loads of possibilities for colours etc.
Hope you like it, leave your comments to let me know.
