I pulled out an older stamp set from Simon Says "Where Your Heart Is" (retired). Stamped and fussy cut the house (including door and three windows). Watercoloured the house with distress inks Pumice Stone, Candied Apple, and Aged Mahogany.
Stenciled the two-part tree (Layered Tree - Wendy Vecchi), sponging more distress inks: Gathered Twigs, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn. Sponged more of the two shades of green ink along the bottom to create some grass.
Popped up the house on top and stamped the sentiment in black.
I think Jer's friends will like the card. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
