Beach Huts and Pink Houses

These are the latest little makes using the Tim Holtz / Sizzix Brownstone and Village Dwelling dies from the Village collection.

As you can see I've been going all-out with the pink theme this week.

Beach huts are some of my favourite things so these Brownstone dies are just perfect for making little huts. I happened upon a crackle technique quite by accident and thought they looked really cool, so I've stuck with it. 

I think these will be my favourite things to make for a while yet, so I apologise now if I get a bit boring!

Brownstone / Dwelling Combination

This one was a bit of a headache, so might be a one-off. Joining parts of both dies together wasn't too hard to figure out, but for some reason I just couldn't get the colour scheme right.

I ended up with pink and white which I'm happy with.

I love the shuttered windows that come with the Village Cottage dies. I've yet to try out the picket fence or dorma window add-ons.

And of course it wouldn't be complete without my trademark tealight holder. :)

And finally...

I re-painted one of my first efforts. It features in my header photo (the dark pink one with brown windows) but I hadn't liked it much since I finished it. But a quick paint-job later...

...I am so much happier with it.
