This month I have created A House for all Seasons..
Here's what I got up to with wood, stamps, stencils,
pastes, die cuts and wire to name but a few...
Using two pieces of wood left over from a recent garden project,
I used an image from AALL & Create's Shuttered Window's stamped
onto rice paper ready to position exactly where I wanted.
Adhered to the wooden base I coloured and painted the image
adding liner pen and glossy accents to bring out areas of detail.
The back displays paste pushed through Tim Holtz Ironwork and
Bricked stencils, painted with distress paint, all wrapped gently with
wire ready for dressing with die cuts of ivy from the StudioLight range.
Adding texture paste to the roof painting in all those finer details
I lost myself in a creative afternoon with this piece, so I will leave
you with views from all sides and let the pictures tell it's story.
I love how the twisted wire and roving ivy envelops these sides still
allowing the texture of Tim Holtz Iron work stencil to peep through.
Words taken from Tim Holtz tiny text stamp set is a
reflective message to cherish every moment...
Shutters stamped separately I was delighted to discover each one
was a mirror image of the other enabling me to stamp both sides.
Attached either side of the arched window it gives a private yet
homely feel with it's evergreen ivy, timeless whatever the season.
Now it's your turn to create and share
your mixed media creations @
and please check out what the
Design Team have created this October.
Look forward to seeing your creative creations.
Creative wishes

Beautiful house. Houses are one of my favourite subjects for altered art. So many beautiful details in your work. Love it!! Love it!! Have a creative week and keep save. Your fellow crafter. Judy
WOWOWOWOWOWOW! Trace, this is absolutely fabulous, what a well though out and beautiful project you have created! So many gorgeous details. And all made from some old bits of wood and our wonderful fantasy. Fantastic! Have a great weekend, stay safe, hugs, Valerie
What an inspiring idea! Your house is beautiful and I love the colours you chose.
I love your house for all seasons Tracey. Thanks for sharing how you made it. I love the idea of not wasting blocks of wood. Look what you ended up with from scrap wood. And using cloth, modeling paste and all the other bits and pieces. You could make a whole village and have a beautiful collection! Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika

It is so hard to believe that this started off as a block of wood... you have transformed it so beautifully into this gorgeous house. I love that window - who knew it was mirror image! The textures you created are just superb and I just adore the ivy. An altogether fabulous project, it really shows how much love you put into it.
Hope you are keeping safe and well. Hugs, Anne xxx
