I Spy YNS Saturday – A House

When we spied this week’s creation it was an “oh my” moment.

Seriously, the creation we found made by Clover417 on Instagram is AMAZING!
clover I Spy

What did I tell you?   Amazing!

There are so many details with the textured roof and pearls topping the shadow box layout.  Plus the shaker adds in a fun interactive element with the Hot Cocoa Phoebe stamp set.  The colors work so well together to create a feeling of warmth.   I know I am smiling and feeling toasty!   How about you?

Be sure to head on over to see all of Clover417’s creations on Instagram.   You may just want to become a follow like I did because Clover’s gallery is full of many more amazing works of art.

We are always out and about on the lookout for your Your Next Stamp creations!   We love seeing what you make so keep on crafting.

Happy Stamping,
