Clear Scraps Project Post

 This project features the Standing House with Wood Embellishment.
This item comes unassembled and ready to decorate.

 

I added some pieces from the Embellishments Chipboard Punchout Home:

I also added one key that I had leftover from Keys Chipboard Embellishments.

 

Here are all the pieces I used:

 

I chose four colors of acrylic paint: white, light brown, light grey, and dark grey. 

These happen to be the colors in my brick backsplash.

Here is how I painted all the pieces:

 

The house portion of the stand: I brushed on one coat of the acrylic paint. While it was still wet,
I used a baby wipe to remove some of the paint.
The base of the stand: I used the dark grey acrylic paint, and brushed on two coats.
The scroll embellishment: Again, two coats of the dark paint. I left the edges unpainted.
Home Sweet Home Chipboard: I painted in dark grey. 
Small Chipboard House: I removed the heart, and painted the house in light grey. 

Chipboard Key: Painted in light grey. 
Wooden Knob: Painted in white.
Small Chipboard Heart: Painted in white.

I set all the pieces aside to dry. Once they were dry, I moved on to the stenciling. 

 

 

I placed a small amount of each of the four acrylic paints on a palette. 
Using a makeup sponge, I picked up a bit of each color. 
After dabbing it on a paper towel, I sponged the paint onto the house,

using the 4 x 6 Brick Wall Stencil. 

I just kept dabbing until I had the look I wanted. 

Next, I inked around all the edges, of all the pieces, using black ink.
I decided on my placement, and then used my tacky glue to adhere everything in place. 
Finally, apply a coat of water-based varnish to protect your finished project. 

 

Here's a closer look:

 

 

This was such a fun project to make!

 

There are so many fun and creative ways to use this Standing House!

In face, I'll share another idea with you next time! See you then!
