Home is wherever You are

Instead of a card, I decide to make a plaque using several different dies from Die-Versions.  Using the double glitter technique on the A Dozen Roses die, I created my backdrop for the House with Chimney Sweet Petite.  The house has glitter for the window and is colored with Copic markers.  The snow is Diamond Dust.  A bit of washi tape runs through the background.

I created this while thinking about a question we are always asked - where is home?  Well, for my family, it's wherever we are living at the moment.  We used to move frequently, so this question came up a lot.  Home is where the heart is - to me that's wherever my family is.

It's so hard to capture the sparkly goodness of glitter, so this final photo shows a bit of how this really sparkles - but it doesn't make a great picture.  To be honest, this was my third attempt at doing the double glitter technique with this die cut.  The first one was so bright (used different colors of glitter) that it hurt my eyes to look at.  On the second attempt, I changed to these colors, but didn't get my mask down well enough.  So as they say...third time's a charm.

The message was created using a couple different fonts from Die-Versions.  The words "Home" and "You" were die cut using the HollyWOOD font and the rest was cut out using the Editor-In-Chief font.  If you love fonts, you definitely need to check out all the font dies that Die-Versions has.  They are all fabulous and don't take up that much space (like all the old Sizzix alphabet sets I still own).
