Cottages - LOTS!

Hi Everyone, a while ago, I saw a stamp and HAD to buy it straight away. This is the first time I have used it though! I STILL love it and just want to do more and more in lots of different colours and ways, I've never felt like this about a stamp, how silly. I'm not the best colourer, but I did my best with them. I decided to send them as a note card to my 3 brothers and their wives and coloured them to be similar to cottages or houses in their areas of the country.

But first, the one I did for myself, to match the colours of my lounge, which I ended up framing. I told you I loved this stamp. After colouring it, I decided to add a picket fence with a border of flowers, I shortened it to fit, I print and cut it out on my Silhouette. I also framed it with a stone effect embossing folder, then framed it in a frame I found hanging about, as you do!

I coloured this one to be similar to a Welsh cottage, for my local brother

 This was coloured to look be similar colours to Somerset Cottages,

 I was thinking thatch cottage colours!

This was coloured to be in similar colours to the pink Suffolk Cottages, even though they live in the next County, Lincolnshire! SiL likes character cottages.
