Housewarming Card

Since buying a home is such a huge investment and a big milestone in someone’s life, it’s a great idea to acknowledge the accomplishment with a card.  This housewarming card by Kelley Eubanks makes my Top 15 Super Star Cards of all time at PSA Stamp Camp.  

Why it works:  Symmetry, symmetry, symmetry.   My eye is happy!  I love the limited, earthy color scheme, too.   The natural twine matches the natural and distressed paper.    The rooster stamp from PSA Topiary Peel & Stick packs is one of my favorites for the home.   Crafts N’ Things magazine also agreed that this was a Super Star card – this was published in the Fall of 2011.
