Spring Tim Holtz/ Sizzix Paper Village


I made a winter scene (12/13/21 blog post) and always had in my head that I'd create a scene for Spring/Summer where the flowers are blooming.

I used Tim Holtz/Sizzix Paper Village house dies and trimmed down the depth of the house as it stuck out too far from the card. If you want to see how I did that, I have instructions on the 12/13 blog post.

For this card, I used the Flower Field die for behind the house, colored in Saltwater Taffy and 
Scattered Straw. The background of the card is in Salvaged Patina, such a pretty soft shade.

The flowers are from a number of Tim Holtz/Sizzix sets: Funky Foliage, Tattered Florals and Garden Greens. I really like to scene build with dies, I have a box full of inked papers and scraps to diecut.

The sentiment is from Tiny Text by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous.

The panel is mounted on a 6x6" card.



This is the original winter scene.

    This is just beautiful! I love how you used the flowers in the background (I just bought that die) and then have flowers in the fore front. I am going to pin this because I so want to make a card with flowers like this. I also think it's brilliant that you were able to use a 3-d house on your card. :)

    This made me gasp with surprise!
    Seriously!!
    I’m working on something very similar that I’ve had on my desk since January & those little houses have been in my mind ever since I got that #2 TH die set in December. You’ve beaten me to the punch, yet, your direction went where it hadn’t occurred to me: that snow scene!!
    I must favor the flowers, though, since I’m definitely a ‘warm seasons only’ type.
    But those flowers took my breath away- such a STUNNING & FABULOUS idea!!
    Thanks for sharing your beautiful make on The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge Blog!
