Home is Where the Heart Is at Try it on Tuesdays


Hi folks,
Time for another challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this time it's Home is Where the Heart Is.  Its up to you how you interpret this, as long as you tell us, and don't forget our rules,  you can only enter 5 challenges with this project including ours.My very talented teamies have some fabulous interpretations on this theme, so please take a look here.
My card started out as a piece of scrap card to mop up some Tumbled Glass and Picket Fence Distress Stain.  I embossed the corner using a TH Embossing folder, and then coloured some of the raised flowers with Distress Markers and then spritzed and dabbed with a tissue. to soften,  I bought the image from Dreamees a couple of weeks ago at a local Craft fair, (the house actually hangs from a floral branch which I didn't need), coloured with markers, Glossy Accents, Markers and Glamour Dust for the 'heart'.  Flowers are a mix of Joy Crafts, Memory Box and TH Tattered Floral strip die.

I am entering this at:
  Make it Monday - Anything Goes
  Aud Sentiments - Two word Sentiment
  Charisma Cards - No designer paper

Looks like this weather is set to continue for a while, so different from last Summer!  I'm off to do some more die cutting in the garden as I'm still working on the rest of the Wedding Stationary, although DD still hasn't given me final numbers!
Enjoy the sunshine, whatever you're doing.
