A card for Dutch Dare where the challenge this week is to follow a sketch.I've used my Weatherboard Cottage design for Kadoodle Stamps which is stamped with Versafine Sepia ink, pencil coloured and blended with Sansodor. There's some glossy accents on the window panes but the picture hasn't caught this unfortunately. The topiary trees and flower planter stamps also come with the cottage and I've coloured, glittered and then cut them out to mount on thin dimension tape. The image is matted on the beautiful paper that was given to me by Sandy at the The Craft Barn and has been cut out using square nestability dies also layered on dimension tape. Background is Bazzil Bling which has been embossed with the CB Swiss Dots folder and the 'No.?' sentiment is cut with the 'Go Create' Milan alphabet and glittered.
I had another lovely day at the Craft Barn Extravaganza yesterday, met lovely people and I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend. I'd like to thank everyone for making me so welcome and Isabelle for looking after me as this was my first time demonstrating. Sandy has asked me if I'd like to do a class in November on colouring techniques which I've said I'd love to do.
Back soon,
Chris

Absolutely gorgeous card.Love your cottage image and the colours you've used.
As for your comment about my 8x8 cards.I make them up myself using an 8x8 and a 9x8 piece of card.You score 1 inch in on the 9x8 and it overlaps the 8x8 piece at the back.I do buy 8x8 envelopes though.

STUNNING! SPECTACULAR! PERFECTION! Chris, this is more than a card; it is a work of art. I love every gorgeous detail. How I wish I could take that class with you in November...maybe a teensy-weesy-tiny bit of your creativity and design savvy would rub off on me. A girl can dream...right;o)
Hi Chris, thanks for your message. It was lovely to meet you on Saturday. I love this card. I've got the cottage you stamped up for me at home and hope to do it justice and make a card with it later this week.

This is so lovely. I think these cottages could be used for so many occasions. It is a shame that the Craft Barn is so far away, I would love to attend one of your classes.
