I did a watercolor wash of Deep blue and Eggplant and while it was wet, sprinkled liberally with Kosher salt to add texture. While it was drying I die cut enough houses so there would be a separate home for Karen & Kristen, Mom and Dad and each one of their brothers and sisters. This is especially meaningful for Karen who as she got older wanted to do the things her siblings did and be like them.

Ah, and such lovely homes for each of them. Love that the parents are in the center and their home is a warm soft inviting yellow. Gorgeous bg. Great card.

So awesome for your nieces. I'm sure they will do well. This card inspired me since I don't own any sports things. I will make a card for both girls. I wish them both the best. hugs

This is such a wonderful way to celebrate the girls living in a different house from parents and siblings - and makes it seem like they are very near! Love the look of the uncolored houses against that gorgeous BG!

Thanks for sharing your story about your nieces. This inspired me. And happy for them. But yet it makes me wanted cry. I can't explain it. Maybe deep down in my heart that's what I wanted to but I too scary too go after it. And I don't know how?
