Hello and welcome to my Happy Home! Alicia here, I had such a blast creating this little scene. I love working with all of the Karen Burniston dies, they compliment each other so well. Here I have used the latest House & Fence Pop Up with the tree and leaves from Tree Pop Up. I also used the Happy from Word Set 3 Holiday. I used Frantic Stamper Stitched Waves as the clouds across the top.
I followed my own advice and created the mechanisms of this card in basic white card stock first. I find it so helpful to learn the folds and make any mistakes on plain card stock before I use my good stuff. I did begin with white card stock. I inked one side with blue ink to create the sky background. I layered my clouds across the top. I used green card stock for my floating platform to make a nice green yard. I cut and embossed the house highlighting the embossing with some chalking inks to make the stone and siding pop.
Here's a closer view of the house. So many little details really make for an exquisite card. I am sending this out to my sister who recently moved. I tried to use the colors of the home she purchased. I was just winging the sold sign. I used some of the left over flocked leaves from my last project to sprinkle in the tree and a few on the ground. I used a little more of the flocking on the wreath on the door. I also used a chipboard die cut behind the tree since the wood grain paper I used was paper, not card stock, my tree needed some extra sturdiness. Finally I inked just a little yellow in the windows to simulate glowing lights.
