I kept the two circles and the horizontal element but made it very colorful. I needed two cards for friends who are new home owners and this card seemed perfect.
I colored the back drops with a variety of SU markers on watercolor paper. I then "painted" them with the aqua painter. Then it was a simple matter of cutting the two circles, heat embossing the sentiment, stamping and cutting the two houses, and assembling the cards.
Thanks for looking!

What a beautiful set of cards you have made for friends who are new homeowners. I am so impressed with these cards you have made based on Cindy's lovely train card. Wow! Your watercolored bg really highlights your image scenes, and of course, I love all the sparkle and shine you added Catherine. ~Karen.

Awww sis this one makes my heart ache for you and your Ohana!! But it also inspires me to pray harder with extra kudos so that you and DH is moments away from your forever place to make memories in before the girls are off to make and find their own. Then again maybe gods plan is to have you find the perfect property so they too will have enough land to build their own on and never leave home!! *wink your cards surely showed and expressed where your mind and heart is!! Love the artwork that you put into it!! And may you soon be in your home at the end of this rainbows you made wherr pots of golds should be and for you it be that home you are so longing for. And when you finally in it may there be gorgeous rainbows over it since rainbows are one of natures beauty. And to those who associate it with gay. Well in my world gay = happy!! And Happiness is what this home will be filled with sis for you and your Ohana because you with create and provide that too along side of the all mighty within!!

LOVE your colorful bgs and additional spots of circle colors behind your little houses. You are dreaming of houses, me thinks! :-) and finding one for yourself! Love your black band embossed sentiment and metallic threads.
