Fall is in the Air House

16 Sep

Hi everyone it’s me, Tonya! If you have been following along you know Eileen is away teaching classes. So today I’m “taking over” the blog to show you how I created this simple Fall is in the Air House!

Creating the House

To start this project, cut two House Ornament Diecut from matboard. Cut the flap off one of the house diecuts on the bottom as seen in the photo below.

Ink an Art Dauber with Butter Chalk Ink from the Cornucopia Chalk Paintbox Inks. This set of inks was used for the whole project including inking both house diecuts. Place the Mandala Art Screen on top of the house diecut and load a spatula with Extra Heavy Gel (Matte) Apply the gel over the art screen. Complete the same steps for second house diecut and let both diecuts dry. This was my first time I ever used extra heavy matte gel and I discovered I absolutely LOVED it!

Next ink Art Daubers with Harvest, Dark Brown and Pumpkin Spice Chalk Inks and randomly ink both house diecuts. Once dry, adhere both house diecuts together and add gems around both sides of the roof.

Decorating the House

I must have been in a crafting zone because I forgot to take photos of the steps of how I put the flower together. YIKES! Cut six flowers and one leaf from crinoline fabric from the Journaling Card, Flowers and Leaves Diecuts. The glass tray was inked with Red Barn and Dark Moss Chalk Inks, and water was added to both inks. Six flowers were placed into the Red Barn and the leaf was placed into the Dark Moss Inks. All diecuts were completely covered before I removed them to dry. The final step for the flower was adhering all together. I added the leaf to the back of the flower before adhering to the corner of the roof.

The tiny chipboard flower I inked with Red Barn. The Watercolor Paper leaf was inked with Mint Chalk Inks. The leaf was added to back and a sequin to the center of flower. I then placed a Foam Pop Dot to the back of the flower and above the window. The house was finished by tying a bow from cording and adding to the side of the roof. I hope you have been following Eileen as she travels and her Inspiration Team as they share their some fun crafting ideas!

Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is wonderful and enjoy creating!
