Home Sweet Home

Hello my friends!
I am playing along with the Mixed Media Card Challenge today!
Check out their theme this month...;-)




So fun, right!?
Their DT members created some really awesome cards!
Here is my take...




Originally, I didn't think I could come up with any designs with "sunshine", but their optional element (which I usually forget) helped me with this design!




I die cut the sun twice in Daffodil Delight, mounted them on top of each other, then I stamped the word sunshine randomly with the Alphabet Rotary Stamp. 




I heat embossed the words "home" and "sweet" on these die cut clouds, then very lightly colored them with Pool Party.  




These bricks must be the smallest brick image there is...*Hee Hee*
I remembered that this cute little house had brick walls, and that is how I came up with this design! I stamped the image on watercolor paper, colored with Stampin' reinkers then die cut it. I wanted to give it a chipboard feel so 3 more of them were die cut then mounted on top of each other. 




I die cut "Home" in the Typeset SDSP, and you know how thin this paper is, so I die cut it two more times with cardstock. I wanted a couple more houses on the background, and I always say this but it is good to hoard old patterned papers! because I remembered that the Well Worn DSP has Cajun Craze, and look what I found!? Brick image! 
The bottom of the card was heat embossed with gold emboss powder, and blue and light gold mixed into green! Isn't it pretty!?
