tuesday trigger: home sweet home

Home_Sweet_Home

What a sweet little Tuesday Trigger over on Moxie fab World this week. I love the handmade/patchwork feel of this little pillow. I love all the fun details of this little house (the polka dot roof, the woodgrain door and the little button knob) and tried to recreate it in my card for this week. I took it pretty literally and went with the house as my inspiration-not super original, but I still think it's pretty cute!

I stamped these little houses from Claudine Hellmuth onto sticky back canvas and then paper pieced most of the little details, and painted one house in with Mustard Seed Distress ink that I had put onto my craft sheet and sprayed with water. I added the numbers to mimic the ruler/chimney that is in the photo and also to give the card a more collage-y look. The sentiment is from this Hero Arts set. I think this will be a great card to give to a hostess next time I stay at someone's house.
