It is sure starting to feel like fall here. After a week of 100 degree weather, the next week will be much cooler. Right now at 9 am it is only 61F (compared to 95 yesterday) - reaching up to the 70's this afternoon. My kind of weather for sure!
I had a request from a co-worker for a 'new home' card. So what exactly kind of card would you make? I had a funky house image but she wasn't fussy on that, so I told her to leave it with me and I would come up with something.
Plants are always a nice gift for a new home owner, so pulled out this set from MFT , with matching flower pot die, and here is the end result:
I first cut my background white c/s using MFT scallop pierced die. I then figured where I would place the flower pots, then pulled out a Memory Box stencil and stenciled a bit of a background using antique distress ink. Plants and pots were stamped and coloured with copics. Then cut the pots out using the matching die, but free hand cut the plants (as I did not have the dies for these).
Happy New Home was embossed on a piece of black c/s, using white embossing powder. I then trimmed off the edges to the desired length and width, then angled on end. I glued this down first, then figured out how to arrange the planters. The middle one is popped up.
To finish off I added some enamel dots.
(BTW - she loved the card :) )
