This weeks challenge is a nice easy sketch and I had already got bits ready for cards last week, but i got hit with a nasty cold so didn't get to complete them all!!
Used a Polkadoodles stamp and for the first time got out my brayer, which I have had for months. Used a big & juicy and brayer to create the background, Barbara Gray makes that technique look so easy, took me a couple of tries and to be honest it's still not the best but thankfully only need a small piece of the card. I didn't have a stamp that says anything about home or new home and didn't really want to computer generate anything and stick it on the card so used some See-Ds letters which I have had for years and again never used, why do we purchase these things?!Not overly sure about this card, but will be adding it to the collection I am making for my mother. Have a fab weekend and thank you for looking :)

This is fab Suzilou! Love the stamp and the colours you've used. The curly letters match the roof on the house so well! Think we're all guilty of buying stuff that never gets used, lol!! xx
Hola Suzilou, beautiful job Suzi, your technique with brayer it's so good, and your stamp so sweet, i love this house!, well done.
A hug from Palma
Gorgeous card. Your brayering is definitely better than mine - just can't seem to get the hang of it despite the wonderful Barbara!!

Thanks so much for your kind words!
This is terrific, your use of the brayer looks excellent... mine could do with refining!
The card is super and I know what you mean about See Ds... I have some sculling around in the bottom of a drawer somewhere, but this looks tremendous.
Thanks so much

I like this, looks like a postage stamp, one of the very decorative ones that the PO never seems to stock anymore:)
