'Home is where the heart is'......... for AJJ

My journal page for    AJJ 'anything with eyes' challenge


I was inspired by a sweet little MDF house
 I found in my stash 
 and wondered who would live in a house like that :)


I first drew the house roughly, my old school set square came in handy to draw around to make the roof and I also used a heart shaped metal die to draw around.  
Next I painted house/heart and background with PaperArtsy chalk paint and gouache. Then loosely painted a few bricks and flowers and added quote and TH vintage people die-cuts.

Thanks for stopping by
