I was not planning on making any Easter houses this year because I made so many last year, but an idea got stuck in my head and I had to make one.

I decided to put violets on the roof instead of shingles and I made Easter grass which is as close as I will come to making coconut. I put green cardstock through my shredder. I am very happy with how the Easter grass turned out.

I used clip art for the chicks and birds in the windows. I used a texture paste through a stencil to make the raised texture on the walls.

I generally write more details on my blog if you want to read more about some of the stuff I used to make this house. https://withglueandglitter.blogspot.com ... -roof.html

I may put this house on wheels with violets as the spokes, but I haven't decided about that yet.

I hope your spring is going well. It is beautiful here today in Upstate SC. Take care.

lovely!

Very nice Lucy. I love the stone texture on the walls. How did you get the "blue brick" design on the chimney? It looks as if it's printed on. Love your Easter house!

Violets on the roof? That treatment is tremendous! Now it makes me wonder about poinsettias on the roof of a Christmas house.

Very creative, and thanks for sharing your pics.

Great Easter house Lucy! So many awesome textures! Love all your little friends peaking out the windows, brilliant!

I just saw the comment about poinsettias on the roof--great idea

I love the violets and all the spring visitors!

Clever, unique use of violets!! Outstanding result!! Violet wheels and a pull cord for a great Easter would be fun!!
