Edit: I am also entering this for the
Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog Challenge which is SING A RAINBOW. I thought my rainbow houses would make an alternative theme for the challenge. I will also try to make another entry soon as we have a whole month to create some art.
I have had a fab play day today at
Sue's house and our inspiration for our play day came from
here. It was great just relaxing, crafting and chatting in good company.
We decided that as it was a play day we would work in our journals and we started with a plain black background. I love how the houses just pop from the plain background. I cut the houses from white card that I decorated with distress inks. Onced I had decorated some card it was simply a case of cutting out the house shapes and assembling.
I drew white lines and dots around the houses and black lines on the inside, this really made them pop from the page.
Sue printed off a great nursery rhyme that would go with these images..... There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile, he found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse. And they all lived together in a little crooked house. I love it. Look out for Sue's page coming soon.
Thanks Sue for a great fun crafting day, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Have a good evening everyone, Tracy x

Ooh, looks like fun. Great idea. Love the nursery rhyme, too - one of my favourites from when I was young.
ooh you lucky pair. looks like a creative day. love these pages.they stand out really well against the black background
This is wonderful, you're quite right the houses literally jump off the page, I love it all. A very appropriate rhyme, that I remember very clearly from my youth, ooh! that takes me back:D xx

I adore these pages they are fabulous, such terrific fun. Annette x
What fun! It looks almost Zetti like, I like the colors, too!
Very nice you did a great job tfs!!!
They certainly do 'pop off' the page. They are very cleverly done and you can let your imagination 'fly' with a great project idea like this one. I love it Tracy, you have inspired me to have a play with houses. All the little details add to the pleasure of having another look, which is what I am going to do now. !!
How nice to work with a like-minded friend as you can bounce ideas between each other.

I know this is a journal page but it's just the sort of artwork I would love to have on my wall to admire every day. It is stunning, love the rich colours against the black, very 3D.
Fab pages! Great work! :-)
Brilliant pages Tracy, how I wish I lived closer to you two. Those backgrounds for your houses are so colourful and the white does just make them jump off that page. Good job my stamps will be in stock very soon.
I am so in love with these houses you made. They are just awesome!! I wish they were in stamp form so I could buy them. Great pages that you made.
Awesome Fun pages Tracy!
Love the way your houses 'pop' on the plain black background.
