This Free for all challenge 'that other thing you do' made me stop and think - I don't really have another hobby any more, just cards. But the other thing I do which brings me great joy and satisfaction is study the Bible with folks in their own home (for more info on what I do, please visit jw.org).
The houses vary greatly, but I'd love to visit this one! Pretty much everything is dies on this card. To create the lamp light I used cellophane wrap. White gel pen to soften the lamp ironwork. Paper crimper to create the folds in the blind behind the window. Brick dry embossing on the background.

You are so creative...all the little touches like the lamplight make this a pleasure to look at. You have such a great sense of design. The colors are perfect and the little flowers in the window look fantastic. Awesone card.
