New Home


This creation was made for yesterday's One Layer Wednesday challenge - OLW53, which is to "Make a one-layer 'New Home' card using at least two different coloured inks."  PTI's Love Lives Here collection immediately came to mind.  Again, I have to laugh at how simple this card is and yet how much I struggled with it.  For once, I knew exactly what I wanted to do; however, it took four tries before I got it right.  It was the frame that got me.  I planned to use Waltzingmouse Stamps' FRAME-IT collection to frame my little house and I love the way the sentiment fit into the open space on the frame.  Every time I stamped the frame on the card, I made a mistake of some sort - ink smudges, incorrect measturement, etc.  I finally got it right though, and I am happy with the way it came out.  I am really loving these challenges where less is really more - I feel like I am learning a lot. 

Here is my recipe:
Stamps ~ PTI-Love Lives Here, Waltzingmouse Stamps-Frame-It.
Paper ~ Gina K. Pure Luxury White.
Ink ~ Memento Tuxedo Black, So Saffron, Rose Red, Wild Wasabi.
Accessories ~ Rose Red marker.
