Shiny New House Card

A close friend is moving country and is moving into a cute little red cabin in the woods. So I wanted to make this new home card for her to celebrate the move. For this card I used:

• Papermilldirect Slate Grey Smooth Card
• Papermilldirect Perla Siro Colour Card Grey
• Papermilldirect Cherry Red Pearlised Card
• Papermilldirect Buff Smooth Card
• Papermilldirect Dark Green Plain Card
• Papermilldirect Celestial Blue Plain Card
• Script stamp
• House dies
• Circle dies

I started off my paper piecing the house die cut to get the effect I was looking for of a little red house in the woods.

I then created a frame for he scene using the Siro Grey card. I die cut a circle from this and used the script stamp to add a little interest to it.

I then added the scene in behind this aperture along with the blue card for the sky.

I added a Slate Grey border and matting layer to accent it all.

I stamped a label stamp in grey ink on the light grey card and added this underneath the image.

I love the simplicity of this card but how effective it is. The red shimmer on the house is just perfect too!
