This is my project for the alpha challenge round 7 letter I. I used an iris stamp and made a little house box. To accommodate the image, I made this one 1/2" taller. There is a tutorial on my blog on how to make this cute little box.
The burlap on the roof is from a roll of ribbon I found at Goodwill. The burlap is about 5" wide and there was a white glittered strip sewn down the center. Really? Burlap and glitter? I don't think so! So I ripped the glittery strip off. Well, not exactly ripped... I carefully cut the stitching, so I could take the two apart. I'm not sure what I'll do with the glittery strip, but I'm sure the burlap will get used.

Masterpiece yet again . Love the burlap and it probably would still look gorgeous with the glitter strip. Lol . It doesn't shock me how very talented you are. And I'd like to try making this house box one day . You always inspire me to try new things so glad I always can count on you to get me from a one trick lilpony to a unicorn with wings!! High ho this goes!,
