So Glad We're Neighbours -Hand Stamped Sentiments #330 Color Challenge

This is an interactive circle card using the stamp set "From My House to Yours" from the Holiday catalogue.  Tina Zinck, a Canadian demonstrator, described how this card is made in a video here
Today I put my own 'spin' on it with the colour challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments#330


"


The neighours' houses are strategically placed at compass points on two different layers connected by a brad.  This allows the two layers to move so that neighbours can visit each other.

  • Start by die cutting two of the second and third smallest of the stitched circles in Whisper White and set aside.
  • On a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White some Mossy Meadow was very lightly sponged in a circular motion on the upper 1/3 of the card.
  • Using the larger of the two stitched die cut circles placed centrally on the sponged surface and lightly draw a circle using a pencil.  This circle will be used to guide the placememt of the trees.  
  • Then stamp the pine trees at the N, S, E, W compass points in Mossy Meadow over the circle line; two of the the bare branched trees between them in Pretty Peacock ink.

  • Use a piercing tool through both layers of the circles as well as the Whisper White art piece. This is for the hole through which the brad will be inserted,

  • On a separate piece of Whisper White stamp the houses using the various colour combinations of this challenge and fussy cut.  

  • Adhere two houses on the wrong side of the large circle - at opposite ends i.e. north/south; Adhere the other two on the wrong side of the smaller circle at opposite ends but this East/West

.
  • Insert brad through circles and art piece.

  • Emboss sentiment on a scrap piece of Pretty Peacock card stock using White Embossing powder.  Die cut with the smallest of the stitched die cut circle.
  • Add this circle to the center of the other two circles using dimensionals.  Note:  make sure the bottom row of houses are facing in the direction desired before adhering this layer.
  • White emboss sentiment on Pretty Peacock card stock for the bottom of the card.  Trim and add over a piece of 3/8" Old Olive/Pretty Peacock reversible ribbon which extends across the bottom,
  • Add Bold Peacock rhinestones to the bottom and top of the art piece.
