New house I'm working on...

Post by Clinton »

Using the Sizzix Village Dwelling die, I decided to 'Hacienda-fy" my creation! Still working on base though. Put a double Santa in the front windows for good measure. Thought you all would like a "sneak-a-boo" peak of it so far. Enjoy...

Cheers,

Will~

Those colors are great, Will. The double Santas are fun, too.

Thanks Lucy! It has been an enjoyable build so far. I think I've got it finished for now. :) Here's the finale of it below--

Way cool Will. I like the way the Santas look when the house is illuminated!

Thanks Brian,Howard, and John for the compliments! Answer to the "santa windows": No, but I do have some from him though. These are copies from an original house I purchased a few years ago. The house was falling apart from water damage (still need to restore it, later on that subject! :mrgreen: ) So- I pulled the house apart and salvaged the window. I then had it printed on some glassine paper several times to at least have copies since i will be re-installing it into it's original framework in the house I need to restore. Here is a pic of the house I bought. I am also going to take accurate measurements of the house so I can make a copy of it as well.
