Just finished this house. I didn't love it at first, but then I got the base right and FINALLY made a really cool fence to enclose the yard and I think that makes the house. I say finally about the fence because I didn't use a commercial die to make it; I made it more like traditional Putz house fences.
I did use a Slate stencil that I showed on one of my posts for the Stone textured houses. Since this is a Halloween house I painted the mortar black for the spooky factor. I used a cardboard container that cat litter comes in to make the roof tiles. It is much like egg carton material, but with more material to work with. I tried a different chimney that I saw somewhere, needs a little perfecting, but I still like it.
I felt like I painted the base better to give the appearing of the house being on a hill. And then I really like my fence. I painted it with white gesso tinted with a little ochre and sand mixed in. I distressed it on the edges with some black paint.
