The Less is More challenge this week is to use charms on our cards... not something I usually use but luckily I found a few small keys in my stash so I used the sketch at CASual Fridays to make a New Home card.....
The key is a bit ornate for a door key I suppose but it's the symbolic meaning I'm going with :0)
I used the Country Landscape die from Memory box on three different shades of Bazzil and then layered them the best way I could to make a hilly view... now I look at it, I've not got the trees in the correct proportions ...oops...oh well, they can be saplings in the foreground !!
This is going to be winging it's way to the Isle of Wight as soon as I find out the new address it's going to.... it's for a couple that have finally moved having had their house up for sale for the best part of 18 months but then that's probably not an uncommon story in recent years !!
Thanks for your visit today :0)

ReplyDeleteI bought the summer version of this die and had no idea what to do with it - I do now ;-) Another stroke of genius with the window view. You need to be on the memory box DT too as you use their dies so inovatively.
