Hello Friends
For my Guest designer spot at AALL & Create this week I used two stamp sets by
Kaitlin Paltridge to create some cards, my card box is nearly empty!
I used stamp set #191 and #193 to create a New Home card and a couple of mini cards.
For the larger card I masked and stamped both stamps onto a piece of watercolour card. I kept the backgrounds on all of the cards fairly simple.
I stamped the houses a second time, coloured them and cut out some elements so that I could decoupage them up onto the card.
These stamps are an ideal size to create smaller cards. This time I stamped directly onto the cards and coloured them directly with watercolour paints. For the card on the left I also stamped and coloured a second house and decoupaged just the bottom half of the card, to give some dimension.
The stamps I used are available from AALL & Create. You can find a full list of
worldwide stockists HERE.
A quicky post today, thanks so much for your visit.
Hugs, Anne xx

Such charming houses! Like Sandy, I think there's something special about houses--always gets me to thinking about the people that live in each one, and what secrets the walls would tell. Your cards are fabulous and I adore the simplicity of the designs! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOoh these are so gorgeous! Love the quirky houses painted to perfection and the backgrounds are lovely. So sorry I have been absent from blogland for so long. I am also hoping to do a post myself soon too. Hope you are both ok. Hugs my friend xxxxxxxxxxx

What fab stamps Anne, houses really do give us a window to create and give for any occasion. Love how you cut and overlaid the design really taking them to a new dimension. The gentle touch of watercolour works perfect.
