I have a new home card that will be winging its way towards a friend who is moving house soon. I was inspired by the photo inspiration at Paper Smooches Sparks and the one layer HOME challenge at Less is More #228. I am also playing along at Time Out #33 where we are to interpret these words: Happy is the Bride that the Sun Shines on.
I used images from Paper Smooches Bitty Bungalows stamped in Versamark and water colored with Distress Ink. Lots of white and turquoise in the house, as a nod to the colors in the PS inspiration photo. I masked the car to stamp the house behind it, masked the house to stamp the tree, and then masked the entire scene to sponge distress Squeezed Lemonade ink using a mask I made out of a sun rays die. Those sun rays and the happy scene are my nod to the Time Out challenge, emphasis on 'happy' and 'sun shines'.
I hope my friend will appreciate the glossy red sports car and the apple tree I have given her.
Thanks for Visiting
