Hello friends! I pinned an adorable card by Paula of Stampinantics on my Pinterest board entitled, "Cards - New Home" a while back. Recently, I had a chance to become inspired by it, and create my own version:
I love the Stampin' Up! set, Good Neighbors. That's what drew me to Paula's card in the first place. She created a lovely, large moon behind her houses, and I riffed on that by sponging lots of dark plum and black inks around the edges. Speckled stamps from SU's Itty Bitty Backgrounds became stars.
Just so happens that I had these little houses in my box of cast-offs from a project long ago. I lined them up along a dark 'street', and stamped a Papertrey Ink sentiment there.
A big thanks to Paula for sharing such an awesome creation with all of us. It's a neat idea!
And thank YOU for coming to see my creation today! Have a wonderful day!
