I really like the house from the Sewing Box - Hugs set, so decided to paper piece it. I used the Celtic Squares papers in several colours. I cut a couple of backing mounts - one in green Celtic Square and the other plain white onto which I stamped the pretty lace circle - with my Spellbinder dies. I used faux stitching to make a border around the card; had a rummage in my button box to find co-ordinating buttons and added them to the corners. I also found a few heart shaped buttons, which I thought looked really sweet falling from the door! Finally I added a simple greeting in red. Home sweet home - a place where the heart is!!
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Faux Fun Circles, Off Beat Backgrounds, Sewing Box - Hugs
Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Distress - Barn Door, Faded Jeans, Brushed Corduroy
Spellbinders: Sm Pinking Circles (S4-172) die #5, Classic Scalloped Circles Lg (S4-124) die #5
Papers: Waltzingmouse Celtic Square - Creme de Menthe, Regal Red, French Blue, Saffron, Heather
