These little houses continue to call me so, I went with it again today. I realized as I scanned this page that everything on it was left over from something else. All three houses are stamped on Deli paper I used to protect my book. I used my favorite grid stamp from Lori on one and Hero Arts stamps on the other two. The roof of the left house is part of a book page I painted a while back. The foliage in the background on the right was from a page a did a week or two ago. Even the blue background was on this page because I used it to clean my brush.
I used several colors of craft paint for the background. The golden foliage on the left was made using a Donna Downey stencil. The quote, How Old Would You Be, If you Didn't Know How Old You Are? is a Penny Black Stamp. The letters and numbers are an Angel Company stamp set. The front door on the left is a Zero stamp by Danelle Johnson. It makes a perfect front door. The checkerboard boarder is a homemade by ME. I have a 1/4" punch from Stampin Up and I used it to make the border stencil from a piece of card stock. If you look closely there is also a swirl pattern stamped in the background.. It's a Clearsnap rollagraph Jumbo wheel stamp that I took off the wheel.

This journal page as well as the previous one are so beautiful! I also love the quote "how old would you be ..." I think I would be much younger ;) However, your pictures in fact make me feel much younger and this is a great effect!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote! In my head I'm still a teen but more and more these days my body feels that of a pensioner - especially my back. Actual age? 36 :P
