WMSC 71, CR84FN 41

Hi all, another card to share today, twice in one day it's a record lol! This time it's for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, and CR84FN Challenge. I'm a bit late with these challenges again this week, I am finding the weeks are just flying by.

Here's the sketch:


And the colour inspiration from CR84FN:



And here's my take:



I have coloured the sweet little WMS house again, but used Promarkers this time, rather than the pencils I used last week for this image. They are faster to use than pencils, but I prefer the depth of shading I can achieve using pencils - I guess I need to practise with my Promarkers more :-)

I decoupaged the house UP, just stamped the house twice, coloured the images and cut the door out of the top house, stuck the door to the bottom house, and layered them together with foam dots. I added some Glamour dust to the roof and gables of the house, it's so twinkly!



I layered the house onto a piece of pale yellow pearly card, stamped with some doilies in Memento London Fog.

The little sentiment is also WMS, and layered onto some more pearly yellow card stamped with doilies.



The ribbon at the top is Silky Crush from The Ribbon Reel, to which I have tied a bow in yellow Baker's Twine and a yellow resin rose from Prima.



The background grey houndstooth paper is by Papermania, and the cardbase is a petal point card base from Craftwork Cards. The little blue gems along the bottom are from Kaiser, and very twinkly with all the facets on their surface.

That's all from me, got to feed the kids!

Pauline, I love the house in blue with the snow on the roof. The blue with the checked background is striking. The yellow flower/bow ties in so well with the windows. Just striking!

Pauline, can you come to the US and teach me how to color???! LOVE your house and LOVE the glittery parts, too! Super PRETTY card! HUGS! Sue

I know I already commented on this one, but I just colored that cottage and had such a hard time with it. I just pinned your card for future reference. You colored it so beautifully, mine looks so blotchy compared to the perfectly blended job you did. It is gorgeous.
