HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm here today to share a Congratulations Card that I've made for a Friend who just purchased their First Home!! I'm in LOVE with the NEW Poppystamps Proper Brick House Craft Die, so I had to use it for my Card today!! I'm also linking up to the Poppystamps Challenge #71 Heat Wave!! 

I Die Cut the Proper Brick House Die from some TE Sea Salt Cardstock, and some Earl Grey Card Stock and then I used Distress Oxide Inks to ink it up!! I used Gathered Twigs, Persimmon, Dried Marigold and Hickory Smoke and I LOVE the way it turned out!! I also Inked another piece of Cardstock for behind the Die Cut I wanted the Layered Looks, so I left some of the Bricks in the Die Cut and removed others!! I inked the Early Grey Cardstock that I used for the Frames and the Rook using some Hickory Smoke and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink!! I Die Cut the inside of the Windows from some White Cardstock and Inked them with some Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink and then added some Midas Touch Glitter Pen and coated them with some Nuvo Drops to make them look like Glass Windows!! I LOVE the way they Shimmer and Shine in the light!! 

I Die Cut some Grass for the Background and then Inked the Background with some Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Inks and added some water splatters!! I LOVE the way that the HOT Sun is Shinning from behind the House almost making it appear ILLUMINATED!! I think that goes along with the Challenge along with the Warm Colors that I used!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!
