My cousin just bought a new house and I used the Papertrey Boards and Beams to make an A7 sized card. Bazzil Basics cardstock mounted to Beckett Expressions 80# in natural/cream. Their new house is yellow so I used a combination of Prismacolor markers to color in the house and rooftop images in addition to the trees and shrubs and the coordinated cobblestone walkway. I stamped the fence onto white Beckett expressions cardstock and then cut out and used dimensionals to give depth. I used the top of the topiary stamp to create the shrubs, stamped the first one, then stamped a second set and cut out and adhered with glue dots for some additional dimension. Corner adorner punch to create the photo edge/cornerand an edger punch for side cutouts. Aleene's Paper Glaze on the windows in order to give the appearance of glass. Nesty for the "plate"/tag under the frame-since I wanted to give the illusion of a 'painting' framed and mounted. Sentiments inside and out are from the Papertrey set.
