ART HOUSES

I'm showcasing the wonderful ART HOUSES by Sam Poole from Creative Expressions decorating a tag this week.

My background has been decorated with mowed lawn and salty ocean Distress Inks, applying the ink to a non-stick craft sheet, spritzing with water and mopping up the beads of ink.

I embossed the card with the Couture Creations Uber Fine Design embossing folder, rubbing over the raised areas with gilding wax. I machine stitched three lines to the top of my card and added wooden birds, coloured with Distress Inks, adding random text to the bird's bodies. I also added HOME using the Vintage Alpha clear stamp set by Sam Poole.

The houses have been stamped onto white card with black Archival Ink and coloured with mowed lawn Distress Ink.

For a little more interest and dimension I also added three assorted key charms, again coloured with a touch of gilding wax. I added stitched lines to the bottom of my tag to ground my houses and added HOME using computer generated text. I then added touches of gilding wax around the edges of my tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
