To start I printed the image of the lady onto acetate. To soften the edges of the acetate I gently burnt them over a flame from my hob (be careful doing this, as it produces fumes. I held it with tweezers). I then attached it to a softly patterned card with Glossy Accents.
I cut the shape of the house from foam board and applied Terra paint to the bottom right-hand corner. I stamped a Paper Artsy script stamp into it and heated it, which creates some bubbles. I painted this with burnt sienna and then raw umber paint. I then added the green paper, which I distressed with some brown paint, and the script paper, also distressed, and used a Tim Holtz stamp along the top left side of the roof. Pearl Pen copper dots added some texture. I attached both lots of twine with matte medium and then added the image of the lady, the charms and flower.

Beautiful piece! Thanks for sharing the process.
Jackie, after reading the description of all you had done to do your entry, I had to enlarge it, for sure. I am so glad I did. This is truly stunning! A real work of art. The hard work you put in makes this a keepsake.
Great work Jackie, you put such a lot into what you do, I feel tired reading about it! lol. Don't think I'll be holding anything over flames as I would be liable to burn down the house! but well done for you. Have a good weekend, Nettie xx
