Let's start with the basics. At Polkadot Door Designs, Rebecca & Sarah provide a great inspiration photo. It contains several elements, including a sentiment. You can use them all, or just one. It's up to you. Here is this months inspiration photo:

Pretty...don't Rebecca & Sarah pick the most amazing inspiration photos?

So, here's what I made. For me, the sentiment - which I thought would be great on a gift tag for a house warming gift, guided my project. The color, flowers and the lace doily also played a role in my design.

Some of the flowers in the background paper (by Pebbles) are embossed. I used my piercer to outline some of those flowers to add a little more texture. I thought that element, along with the lace ribbon, were reminiscent of the doily. Here's a close up:

materials: patterned paper, chipboard brackets, heart: Pebbles; letters stickers: Basic Grey; corrugated house: Jillibean Soup; pin: Girls Paperie; ribbon: May Arts
