If I could visit anywhere, it would be Williamsburg, Virginia. I remember going on a historical tour there as a very little girl with my parents - maybe eight years of age. One of the lady workers, dressed in full Colonial period regalia, asked me to take an enormous black skeleton key to another worker. Maybe that is why I am so enamored with keys??? mmmm...
When I saw Cornish Heritage Farms Primitive Beginnings, my mind ran back to that memory at Williamsburg, and I knew I must create a colonial house! With a stone walk! Let's go!!!
Stamp house and sentiment onto a 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" piece of white cardstock, and the house again onto a piece of cardstock scrap.
For the house on the cardstock scrap: Color windows using Y19 and Y21. Use R59 for the door (and a fine gold metallic pen for the door knob) and W1 and W3 for the house siding. Cut house out.
For the house with sentiment: Highlight sentiment 'home' with Copic Y19, then add a grounding line on each side of the house, and a few sprinklings of grass with a black Copic Multiliner. Add a stone walkway using Copic W3, and grass along house and ground line using YG00, YG91 and YG95.
Add dimensionals to the back of the house cutout and adhere, lining up houses. Mat house unit onto a piece of 4-1/2" x 2-3/4" Memory Box Licorice cardstock.
Prepare a 6-1/4" x 4-1/2" white cardstock card base. Center and adhere a 4-5/8" x 2-7/8" mat of Memory Box Parsley. Wrap and adhere a 5/8" striped ribbon (Strano Designs - Sally), then adhere house unit over Parsley cardstock using dimensionals. (interior sentiment - A Muse, with a few cardstock scraps...)
Cuttlebug heart die was used on red wool felt, adding a threaded button. I love it when a card takes one back to when one was little!
