Less Is More Challenge Card 2

I was inspired by this weeks one layer “off the edge” cards and so have decided to enter more than once.  Here is card number 2…
LIM wk 6 one layer hanging off houses 01
LIM wk 6 one layer hanging off houses 02
LIM wk 6 one layer hanging off houses 03
LIM wk 6 one layer hanging off houses 04
Materials Used
Tanda Stamps New Home
Creative Imaginations stamp
Promarker Pens
Memento Ink Pad
Sakura Gelly Pen

Stamped one of the houses off the edge of the card then using a mask for each house tried to get the individual house stamps to form a terraced row look.  My stamping and colouring could have been a tad neater… I made a mark just above the second house from the left and was going to disguise it as smoke coming from the chimney; instead i covered it up using the smallest bird stamp i could find.  Don’t think this has worked too well as it i think the bird stamp is slightly too big for the size of the house… Your thoughts? When taking pictures of my cards i do get carried away so forgive me if there are too many images but i love taking macro shots as you can see here.

Wanted to say HUGE THANKS to all of you who have commented on my cards over the last few weeks and also to the people who have decided to follow me. I am quite humbled that anyone would want to follow me so thank you again…  Also if i don’t get around to commenting on your entries this week i am sorry, my health doesn’t always allow me to be as active as i would like and it usually means i cannot sit for too long at the computer.
Thanks for dropping by, am off to post my third entry for this weeks challenge:-)

    Great idea for a card
    Do like the stamped houses
    On first look I didn't notice the bird, but yes agree it is slightly large I guess Could you not have done the mark in a pencil and rubbed it off? Chrissie's tut for the stamp positioner is fab..our week one
    I really like the sketchy colouring of the houses, they look like seaside houses
    See you again

    Your row of houses is delightful and I think your larger than life bird looks very arty!

    I think the size of the birds just emphasises which house they are going to live at!! I htink it's a great card
