Our House

Hello again!


I hope you are having a great weekend.  I am busy making samples for Barbara's show next weekend and preparing for workshops too, so I haven't got those cards to show you yet.  I will say that the new stamps coming up are going to become favourites - so make sure you tune in!!


Also, have you joined the new Groovi club?  I have (I am now a diamond!) those little Groovi plates look so cute, I can't wait to get the first instalment. and get going with the projects.


This card is the last of the samples I made for the last TV show.  I used the Town Super Stencil and the Wee Houses and Wee Shops stamp sets.
This is a huge stencil, so I decided on the part I wanted to use and masked round the edges and also attached it to my card.
I used distress inks in browns and greys to brush and sponge through the stencil.
I stamped the shops and houses onto a separate piece of card, inked round the edge and matted up on brown card, then attached that to the background.


Thank you for stopping by
Janet xx
