Home Sweet Home
At FSC this fortnight we are celebrating the “Home”
This can be any home you like, from under the sea, to bird houses, to animal habitats, to lighthouses guiding ships, to even an actual house!
The interpretation is up to you, and Marina from Cottage Crafts is offering an online voucher to the lucky winner, runner up and spotlights are also chosen along the way.
I have made a bird house.
The idea is from Joanna who made a beautiful one recently here.
And the free template for it, if you would like to give it a go,
is here.
I thought it would be fun to go with bugs…
Dragon flies, spiders, and geckos are the stamps this time around.
I don’t seem to have many suitable bird stamps
so I improvised.
To finish I used leaves as my decoration –
bare branches, ivy and gum leaves.
My final embellie is a grouping of gum leaves,
dangling from rings on the roof…
it just seemed to tie everything together I think.
Pop on over to Fashionable Stamping Challenges and
have a look at some of the awesome creations
that the stampettes have come up with.
Their imagination and talent is amazing and you might be tempted to join in the fun
of “Home Sweet Home”
Enjoy!
