The Little Blue House

Well here we are at the start of yet another month! and of course we have a brand new challenge for you over at Country View Challenges. Evelyn is our host this month and she has chosen the theme:

CRACKLE

I have loved the Tim Holtz Village Dwelling die for some time now although I have only really made the houses with my grandchildren. So for a bit of fun I thought I would have some play time with with it myself and made this rather "rickety" blue house.


I have used crackle paste on the outside along with Distress Inks and the Wrinkle Free Technique in various shades of blue.


Frosted windows and a painted roof.



Flowers around the door ....... and elsewhere!


Great fun! and with a little night light flickering inside, extremely homely.


Not as much fun though as making them with little chap!

So lets see you get your crackle on and join us in our challenge this month. Click the link HERE for all the details of the challenge and to see the rest of the Design Team's amazing projects. And look out too for more amazing crackled projects through the month.

As always thank you for joining me today.

Jennie

I really like this blue house. I think the decoration is just right, not too much. Cute houses with your cute grandson, too. He looks so delighted!
