The last time I posted a card using this house stamp, I asked for suggestions on how else to color it (I seem to see it as a tan stucco house…ALL.THE.TIME.). Miss Hammie suggested that I try coloring it like the Painted Ladies in San Francisco. Great suggestion. I was prepping for vacation, never executed the idea.
Fast forward to this weekend’s flooding in Historic Ellicott City. Offspring3 told me (on Messenger from Spain…) that I needed to get my house stamp out and create an Ellicott City card.
I stamped the house on watercolor paper using different colors of dye ink, then used an aqua brush to move some of the color around.

Thanks, Miss Hammie! I am small potatoes at the Gallery, but I potentially lost 135 cards. (sale prices $4 – $9/each) You are welcome for the shout out – you gave me a great idea!
