Hi gals! Welcome to the FCD Blog Hop! This hop started out about homes - make a 3-D or card shaped home, and decorate it with stamps and photos, etc. In the end, we opened up the theme and allowed the girls to also/or create a card using any FCD sketch and FCD images. So this one could turn into a smargasborg! :o)
I went for the house, and really dig the results! I'm going to send this one to my mamma, who will become a grandma for the 4th time in January when my sister gives birth to her son!
So, here it is! I started out with a pink colored house, thinking about those cute sherbet houses found so often at the beach. In the end, it didn't turn into a beach house at all, but I love it still! :o)
Images used: German Phrases - mix, Clearly Calendar Set, Happy Everything Set, Let's Celebrate set, and Pitchin In set. The trees and birdy also use the matching die-cuts.
here's another view that shows the windows and textures a bit better. The windows have bits of fabric in them to mimic curtains, and the roof was painted with a dry brush and some acrylic paints.
Announcement: In case you haven't heard, FCD is closing it's doors in December! Sniff, sniff. Last day to order is 12/15/10. October 1 all stamps (clear and rubber, no digis) go on sale 50% off. Whatever is left will be discounted further in November, and finally all product (excluding digis) will be on sale - Twinks, Shimmerz, etc in December, with remaining stamps discounted even further. Get want you want now before it's gone FOREVER!
Time to hop over to the lovely Shelly! Keep hopping until you get back where you started. Leave comments along the way for a chance to win some blog candy from Miz Pamela. Candy chance closes Monday, 9/20/10, 8PM EST.
As always, thanks for stopping by!
Happy Stampin'! Ursula

I have never done this before, but it looks like so much fun! Your house is so unique and I love the idea. I like the texturing especially.
Great project!
What a great card for your mother, I bet she'll love it.
wow, your project is great!
Love the house! What a great idea to feature the windows with actual photos of family and fabric curtains. My mom would love a card like this featuring her grandchildren. I gotta do this one! Thanks for inspiring me with such a cute idea. Thanks for your time that you spent getting this ready for us.
