1928

My friends' house was built in 1928, so for their housewarming party they decided to take that year as the theme. As I knew that everything would be to a T (and especially the food), I wanted to make a card to match.

I took the old-fashioned kitchen tile and made it into a house with a triangle of striped paper for the roof. I tore a piece of light green paper to lift my "house" off the key-patterned paper. For a homely feel, I added a strip of red gingham ribbon which also gave a perfect spot to attach the number tags. To fill up the empty spaces I added the rub-on letters, the key button and the peel-off corners.
