Art Houses...

At last I've managed to get hold of Sam Poole's Art Houses stamps. I've been trying to smuggle these into my basket ever since I saw Tracey's samples, but they've always been sold out!
The background has been Fresco painted and stencilled then overstamped with my favourite Stampotique text stamp.

 The houses have been painted in Dylusion inks, then had a few white pen highlights. The house on the left has been stamped on washi tape.

 I covered some card with the same washi tape then stamped and embossed the sentiment.
This was great fun to make and the stamps are just as gorgeous in real life.
I'm entering this into the Artful Times  challenge which is stencils and/or masks, and
The Sunday Stampers - Paint Box
Thanks very much for looking x

    Just so crafty the way you "constructed" your houses, Sue! I especially like that metal roof! Thanks for the step-by-step process photos, too! Sweet wall hanging!
