busy day

i was up bright and early this morning as i had this idea going around my head of something to make LOL anyhow thought i wasn't going to be able to get it done cos i had an eye appointment which entailed having eye drops to dilate the pupils, well it never got done cos the optician had rang in sick so it meant i got to make some xmas cards and get all gluey :-)

i've had this house shape for ages and today was the day it got finished, i painted really roughly with white acrylic paint then dry brushed stream paint dabber on it before putting the prime alla prima papers in it, i then used some of my hoard of tim holtz and prima embellies before using the finished house to display some of my sea glass and sea pottery collection.

i'm completely chuffed with it and have it on the mantle in the front room just to look at for a bit LOL raring to go on my printers tray now :-)
