This is for the sketch challenge today. I needed a New Home card for my friend's son who bought his first home. He is single so I tried to keep it masculine, which is difficult for me. I embossed the papers and used the house as part of the sketch. Behind the house I attached light yellow paper to act as lights on! I thought I had some nail head brads, but I could not find them so used buttons instead. Inside I have the Congrats on your New Home sentiment. Thanks for looking ...

Terrific masculine card for the new male home owner, Kia. Love the detail of opening the "shutters" to show the warm yellow "light" within. It's a wonderful house die too. Like your CAS approach.

What a splendid card for a new home owner. I especially like that it is oriented to a guy. My son's best friend just bought a first home and this reminds me I need to make a card for him. Into my favourites this goes. Your mention of nail head brads reminds me I have some of those somewhere. :-) I love your textured background. Great card!
