House Twinchie and SALT book cover

I just found a challenge blog hosted by Nancy from the Netherlands, Small world of Inchies. Each week, she issues a theme which can be carried out in either an inchie (1 inch square) or a twinchie (2 inch square). I've never done either size, so I decided to try a twinchie, since it's bigger. This week's theme is "house." My text on the blue cardstock was computer generated. I cut the house out of yellow cardstock because the house I grew up in was a yellow Victorian. The image is from the ArtchixStudio "My dear Mother" collage sheet. The ribbon is from The Paper Studio. This is a fun size to work with. It came together pretty quickly. Could be an addicting size:)

I also made the cover for my SaltFaith Challenge chunky book. I used Mustard Green Twinkling H2O watercolor paint (you know I love my shimmery products) to paint Bazzill chipboard for the background. Then, using a gold Colorbox stamp pad, I stamped the flourish. I absolutely ADORE roses, especially red ones, so I couldn't resist ordering the Victorian Roses scrap paper from Artchix Studio. I probably should have ordered several sheets of it, though. For the labels, I painted cardstock with gold Pearl-X watercolor, then stamped the words. The label holders are by making memories.
