I love Christmas Villages so I decide to make a cottage. To create this, I used Cricut Season of Joy Digital Collection. The main part of the house is made of Kraft paper and the door, roof and trim are made from the Tis' the Season Paper Pack. The chimney is not part of the Cricut design. I added that myself.
To add that old world look, I textured bricks on the house with Opaque Matte Texture Paste and then sponged some color on them using the Candy Apple Exclusive Ink Stamp Pad. I used White Glitter Paper for snow.
Of course, to celebrate the season, I added a Noel Wreath from Cricut Season of Joy Digital Collection. I love all the images in this collection. The greenery above the window is called Holly Border. It is from Cricut Artisty Digital Collection. New England Ivy and Candy Apple cardstock go so well together with little red pearls. Our white core cardstock makes the greenery look like they have a dusting of snow on them. It was hard to stop adding more things to this little cottage. You can really get carried away!
Now “hop” on over to Chris Franco’s blog, to see her fabulous artwork. Be sure to visit all the Consultants in the hop to get some fun creative ideas. If you get lost along the way, here is a list of participants. Thanks for stopping by!
