Today over at Play Date Cafe we have some fun colours for our challenge; grey, green and orange. My original idea for this card design is absolutely nothing like it turned out! I had completely different plans for it, but just decided to go with the flow!! Does that ever happen to you? Now seeing it photographed I can see I missed a set of the little triple hearts at the top left, but I was just stamping randomly, and it's meant to look home-made, right??!!! lol
This is the inspiration pic from Sarah...
A good challenge, huh!!
This card was ever so easy to make.
- Stamp house image and sentiment, colour and cut out
- Cut a frame (well actually get your other half to cut your frame, if you're anything like me you will cut it wonky - I just can't do straight line cutting!!!)
- Stamp the frame with lots of mini hearts and a little balloon in the corner, use stickles to decorate
- Cut a piece of green patterned paper, attach to back of frame
- Stamp little flowers on the paper, hearts for the chimney and add stickles
- Attach house image to green paper using pop dots
- Add orange polka dot ribbon before attaching whole frame to front of card
