Lipstick Chick November Challenge: Ideal Home

For November's challenge on the True XOXO Girls blog, I created a layout inspired by the colours of the outside of my dream home. The Lipstick Chicks have really gone to town with their layouts, and there is so much inspiration there this month that you'll be stuck for which Chick to scraplift. But scraplift you must, to be in with a chance of winning this bunch of goodness from Scrap Attack Scrapbooking:

 

There are some cute Crate Paper Christmas papers in there amongst other things. So get scraplifting!

Here is my submission:

I used a light grey/brown cardstock background for natural stone, dark brown accents for wood, and variations on a sagey green for the window frames and front door.

I started off by stamping and making some patterns on the page with ink and Cosmic Shimmer Mist:

Then, using some paper from Basic Grey's Wander collection, cut out and added some houses, and drew my own with a black pen:

I stuck the ripped paper, from Kaisercraft and October Afternoon, on in a fairly random fashion:

And then got embellishing:

With Thickers (yay!). The photo I made with the freely downloadable Poladroid app.

Anyway, get on over to the blog and take your pick of which layout to lift. Don't forget, there's a great prize for the winner!
