Home Sweet Home

Here is my housewarming card for my brother and his wife.  They are moving from Connecticut to NJ this month.  Just wanted to let them know that we are thinking of them.  I made a "bureau" card (which is what I call it) previously  for birthday card and I  thought this would be perfect for them. Directions for the side step are http://jackietopa.typepad.com/addict...-tutorial.html  Jackie does a great job of showing how it is done with a few ideas.  The window is done on SU whisper white cardstock sponging blue for the sky and green for the grass (SU soft blue, and always artichoke). Then I stamped SU "Lovely as a Tree" stamp with always artichoke.   I cut the piece in 4 equal pieces and glued it on a black cardstock.  The window treatment is used with the MS punch.  The broom is sizzix.   This was a lot of fun to make and I know I probably will make another one. Thanks for looking.
