The topic suggested was that we use three different techniques on our project of which one of them was loose watercoloring. Watercoloring is always a challenge for me as I don't practice it often enough and so it mostly looks that way. But I decided that I could definitely make a background with my watercolors and that could be loose. My other two techniques are colored die cuts and heat embossing.
I made cards that one could give to a new neighbor and using the little house dies, I cut each style three times out of white cardstock. I then colored them with my alcohol markers and assembled the layered houses. I love bright colors and so we have a street of bright houses - a bit Nordic in nature. The three cards all have the houses in the same shape order, but different color order.
I completed the cards by stamping the Hi! sentiment in Versamark ink and then adding white fine detail embossing powder.

I knew your interpretation of the theme would be a big surprise! I love these cards, they look like postcards from the sea, where the blue of the sky meets the blue of the water. I love colorful houses, they are so cheerful and you are right, they look like a scandinavian city. I am very happy that we managed to finish this challenge. The wait time to see your cards was worth it. And I'm sure the neighbors are delighted with such a welcome.
