It's Day 4 of STAMPlorations Stamp Spotlight Week
and today we're showcasing another fabulous new set!
Spotlight on HOUSESEXTRAS
What fun extras for the Houses set, right?
Have you ever seen a card that you just absolutely needed to try and recreate? Well, that's what happened with this card. I saw THIS CARD on Pinterest and I just loved it. I didn't have any of the stamps but I did have some STAMPloration stamps and stencils that just happened to fit what I wanted. Now, my card doesn't look exactly the same but that's the beauty of CASEing. You make a design you like but you almost always end up making it your own in some way too. :-)
Anyway, here's my card...
On a sage green piece of cardstock I sponged clear versamark on using the Holly Background stencil. Then I embossed it in white. I then sponged on some broken china and forest moss Distress ink. I spritzed some water on it to blend the colours a bit. Once it was dry I sponged on a bit of white ink. I hand cut some snowy hills and attached them to my panel. Next, I did some paper piecing with the house (Houses - The Bee's Knees) and trees (Houses Extras - The Bee's Knees). The windows and door of the house were stamped on white paper then coloured with my Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut and pieced on. It was a bit fiddly but it looks good I think. The tree trunks were coloured in with my markers as well. I attached these to my panel and then stamped my sentiment (Sentiment Builder - Christmas & New Years) in black. I'm quite pleased with the CASE. It's not my usual CAS style but I like to mix it up every once in a while. :-)
