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!?
