A Halloween House

Since Will made a house, I need to make one too.
Looked like fun.

My wife is a Stampin' Up demonstrator.
She got a die set that had a house with different windows, doors and roof pattern.
I "borrowed" for a bit and cut out a house.
I then "Putz-ized" it.

Added a few embellishments.

The witch in the doorway is from Howard's website.

Going to be in the 30's tonight in Vermont.
Feeling like Fall already.

The leaf material is a product called flower soft. A bit pricey but a little goes along way.

Just a note about the homemade "flower soft".

What I figured out after making my own using the method in the like Maria posted.

It is not styrofoam, but urethane foam that is ground up to make the base material.

I tried making mine w/ urethane foam, and you get the same look of the final material.

Question Steve:

Is the urethane foam the same stuff that foam "egg carton-style" mattress toppers are made out of? Thanks for your answer in advance!

Cheers,
Will ~
