this week's house

dans ma maison il y a . . .  "du metal" this week, so here is my version for the challenge. I had a sheet of metallic, adhesive paper called ScrapMetal, by Mrs Grossman's Scrapbook Symmetry; I put it through the cuttlebug to emboss, then cut to shape. I then salvaged an old metal brooch that had been in the cupboard for awhile (ou elle dormait depuis??  Nicole!) '



The background was painted with H20s and stamped with some flourishes, quite a simple house this time.

I think we did have a similar idea, Nettie! Such a versatile Cuttlebug folder - I reach for it a lot. Love your colours on the metal.

I love the flower! I do not know what significance it has. But it is important that each house be symbolized by a flower. Very nice!
