New Home

New Home

The reason for this New Home is a personal one, my daughter and her family have been living at home with my husband and myself and though somewhat cramped we have got through relatively well. They move into a new home in the coming week or two, hence the card .... 

Products used are :

Chocolate Baroque  Home Sweet Home stamp set  

Chocolate Baroque Masking Tissue
Versafine Clair Nocturne ink pad 
Distress Inkpads : Lemonade, Tumbled Glass and Bundled Sage
Distress Inks Pens : Crushed Olive, Forest Moss, Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey and Pumice Stone
Permanent Ink pen 
Black card for mat and card blank 

To make this card :

1. Stamp image onto card and another of the image onto the masking tissue, cut out mask on the inside of the outside edge line. There is no need to cut out the tree just the house is fine.
2. Place mask over image.
3. If you have a large enough circle punch cut out a mask from the centre of a piece of copy paper or alternatively use a die, put the circle punched out to onside and keep, then place the outer around the house, this can either be held in place or taped if desired. Using stencil brushes add Lemonade to the centre taking colour from side to side  over the the house mask and this will give you your 'sun' remove copy paper and using a small piece of low tack tape put your centre over the Sun to protect the colour from contamination.Add tumbled glass to the area above the sun allowing it to fade towards the top of the card. Do the same with the Bundled sage below the house. 
4. Remove masks
5. Colour the roof using the Rusty Hinge and Wild Honey ( I used a tile to put some colour onto and picked up this using a damp paintbrush, adding water to dilute the colour as needed ), Crushed Olive and Forest Moss were used for the grassy area, bushes and I added some buds to the bare tree. Finally I added the Pumice Stone for shadows under facias, window sills and a watered down wash over the white areas of the house.
6. With the permanent ink pen I formed a border to the card using dots and dashes. 
7. Finally stamp and add the Sentiment and raise from image using double sided foam tape.

Mat and layer using foam pads between the black card and topper.
