House of Cards

 

This will be my final entry this month at Art Journal Journey.  I'm joining Matilde from Craftowanie whose theme is Houses and Buildings.  

 

My final entry this month is a play on words.  I call it House of Cards.  Details are below.
 


 
I got the idea for this final house while mowing my yard.  I had to mow, or the city would fine me if the grass is over 5 inches tall.  They can't do anything as long as it's raining, but once there's a rain free day, it must be mowed.  I heard a lot of other lawn mowers going as I was mowing, too.
 
I used a bunch of gift and member cards, as well as freebies I received in the mail to create the house and roof.  The "door" was a food shopping card which allows discounts to certain items if you have the card.  
 
Recently while at the bank, the teller gave me several different denomination money bands, one of which I used to differentiate the house from the roof.  The ransom letter words were from two magazines in my stash.
 
I hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey and share your own take on Houses and Buildings.  Thank you so very much for visiting today.  We are extremely pleased you stopped by.
