Inspired by {the tin bin}

  Hello & Welcome, It's my turn to host the Inspiration challenge as there are 5 Saturdays this month in November and I am traveling today So, the ladies on the team are keeping an eye on things until I am online again. I knew I wanted to do something simple as it was just a busy week and that is just going to continue through the end of the year now right? Their store front can be found here. And their pinterest boards can be seen here. I seen this red house Ornament here in the thread at Splitcoaststampers. ( its the last photo in the thread) and I will have the links up and working after I return. And I loved that and started poking around in my birdhouse stamps. And I was like no no no, and I thought of these bitty almost salt box styled houses from the really old Memory Box village dies set and I had this Penny Black Immense Enjoy die sitting on the table along with this Christmas paper from Kaiser Craft and I thought, I really like this combo, The red texture paper here I think is from Hobby Lobby. ( its not marked the piece I cut) 

And I really liked the colors and thought they went with the primitive vibe of that house. I probably should have tucked in a bitty tree but, I really liked the browns, creams and red combo and I left it off.  seeing two of the homes would fit in the open space of the O here I decided to go with a from our home sentiment and of course I stamped it directly on that printed wood grain. crooked. yes, you knew that was coming right? So, I re-stamped it on a scrap of kraft cardstock and die cut it twice with an Impression Obsession die from the deckled set. I did cut it twice to get it trimmed down on the ends to be more closer to the edges of the stamping. The edges of that piece were inked with some DOX vintage photo ink. And that was about it but, I decided it needed a little more contrast and used a scrap of the red texture for a mat. This one is A7 in real life. That's about it from me, I hope you are doing well & enjoying this long weekend if your in the states. If you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge here at SCS. Thanks for stopping by.
