Cluster of Houses

For my card I have used the Clear Magic Three Houses designed by Jane Gill
3
yes it is just 3 houses, but I go a bit carried away. The card is 12 x 6 inches I used the black and white Textura Card.
2
I have paper pieced the houses with papers from the Perfect Prints 6 x 6 pad Lavender Mist.
9
then I fussy cut the houses, and inked the edges with a Blue Dye ink and a stencil brush.
7
don't they look pretty?
8
then I inked the white layer and scuffed the edges with the Woodware scuffer.
11
then got  the sewing machine out and stitched it with wobbly stitches. On my machine I can vary the length of the stitch as a sew and it is fun to do that , and to make the lines wobble.
6
then I added the houses to the card
5
I attached them from either end so that the pale one in the middle stands out.

Floral Bunting

Who says bunting has to be flag shaped?

19
I have made some girlie bunting, but I have used Chippies for my bunting, I think that this would be good for a 21st birthday.
9
I have used the Handbag Chippies and stamped them with Jane's Clear Magic Ranunculus then water coloured them with inks.
8
These two have been stamped with the Stampendous Perfectly Clear Fronds set.
1
The 21 is the number chippies and I have
4
Coloured them with Mixed Media pigment ink in Wisteria and then Frantaged them with a mix of Chunky White powder and a selection of bits from my mix jar, with extra shaved ice!
3
I stamped the Ranunculus on card die cut with the Stampendous fitted frame dies. then coloured with the wisteria pad.
5
once I had finished I decided that the background had to be darker so that the numbers stood out so I coloured it all with a stencil brush.
21
I think that it looks effective layered on the green card.
8
I have edged all of the handbags with green ink.
22
The hardest part of the project was getting the ribbon to be the same length between the bags!
20
I have used a touch of double sided tape and jump ring I also knotted the ribbon so that it would not go through the jump ring.
