Wonderful Life

Hello everyone and welcome. Once again I have to specially welcome so many lovely new followers, thank you for stopping by here.

Today I was lucky enough to play with some wonderful new stamps. It's the brand new set by Sam Poole called Art Houses. I used one of those paper mache hanging thingies, but turned it on its side.
I stamped the house four times, three times in black Archival and once embossed with gold embossing powder. I cut part of it out, coloured with Distress Inks and then layered it all up.

For the background I adhered strips of old scrapbook paper all over the front and sides. Then added some texture through a stencil. I used plain old Pollyfiller for it rather than all the expensive pastes that are available, and it works just fine and dries really quickly. I painted over the center of the little board with Snowflake Fresco paint and then sprtizt with a mixture of black and brown Dylusions sprays that I had mixed up in a mini mister. I stamped the heart part of the house once more and used that as an embellishment.

I stamped my sentiment from different words that come with the set, stamped the "sending you art" stamp, directly onto the board and then stamped all over still with a little Prima text stamp. The raised bits were still highlighted with some Treasure Gold. I also gave the whole thing a few spritzes of Perfect Pearls Biscotti (bad idea as it made it really hard to photograph properly...
Here are a few close ups still and the big question, who will I send this to??? (Remember the Facebook pay it forward game HERE?)

Well, that's it. Thank you for visiting and I hope you'll have a creative week with lots of happy inkyness!!
