Hello! One of Tim
Holtz’s new releases this year is the Tiny House’s Bigz die. This creation uses
the larger of the two houses that the die cuts.
I cut my house
out of greyboard to give it some stability. I also cut the same dies out of
cardstock which I used to decorate it. The multi-coloured front uses PaperArtsy
Fresco Acrylics in various colours applied with an old credit card – scraping
over the surface to build up layers. For the sides and the roof I painted in
blue (sorry I can’t remember what colour – might be Baltic Blue?). Once dry I
stamped with a script stamp with black Archival ink and then added black paint
lines randomly with the edge of a credit card and finally white paint splatters.
(PaperArtsy Little Black Dress and Chalk).
The stars are
painted in the same way as the sides and roof. I had some die cut stars on my
desk but you could use any star dies (eg’s below) or cut out a stamped image of
a star – just pick a size to fit. Once the paint of the stars was dry I added
the little quotes from Tim Holtz metallic stickers and added Glossy Accents.
Before I
assembled I ensured the edges of the greyboard base were the same colour blue.
I took a small piece of wood (charity shop!) and used this as the base for the
house. Once assembled Stickles glitter glue was added around the stars.
See you next
week!
