Congratulations Housewarming Card

A couple weeks ago I was a guess for Top Dog Dies.  This is a card that was shared on their blog, but I thought I would share it here too.  I used their Our Home Album and Home Album Finishers dies.  Obviously the die is meant to be for a house shaped mini album, but it's perfect for the front of a housewarming card too.

I cut the basic house from yellow cardstock and added some scoring for 'siding'.  I used a slightly darker shade of ink than the cardstock and a sponge dauber to give the scoring some extra dimension/definition.

For the roof, I cut two roof pieces with brown cardstock and used the edge of one as a mask to create the shingles on the roof.  The chimney was cut from white cardstock and color was added using two shades of red.  Once the color was right, I went back in with a chalk marker for the caulking.



I backed the windows with a bit of very light gray cardstock, and free cut the banner and added the handwritten sentiment.



Once I had the house assembled, I just attached it to a 4x4 card.

That's all for today!  Hope that you are having a wonderful week!
