Today I’m sharing my project for The Crafty Scrapper’s Valentine’s Day challenge. I wanted to do something a little different, so I used the Maya Road Petite Pallet and turned it into a little house collage.
Turquoise, red, and pink are one of my favorite color combinations, so I wanted to use those colors for this project. I painted the pallet with a combination of Picket Fence Distress Paint, Weathered Wood Distress Paint, and Tumbled Glass Distress Stain. I made a roof out of cardboard and then covered it Maggie Holmes “Bloom” patterned paper that I cut into strips using an edge punch.

I made my first attempt at a fabric heart/pin cushion. I’m pretty darn pleased with myself at how it turned out.
I used all vintage fabrics, with the exception of the muslin ruffle.
The embroidered piece I used at the bottom inspired the colors and fabrics.
I added sequins, beads, and old buttons to give it some more character.
And I searched through my stash for the perfect piece of tatting.
The hardest part was stitching the front and back together with the ruffled trim. I think I need to watch some video tutorials to get the hang of it a little better before I attempt another one.
