Used a Marianne design house die cut I won. The windows & door open. Added plastic from a Spellbinder pkg to the windows for window pane look. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink walnut stain on house edge.

Used Tim Holtx vintage photo on flag to give it a more vintage distressed look. Added gold brad to door, star buttons & vintage twine.

Spritzed with Perfect Pearls Mists heirloom gold for added vintage look.
