ABC challenge W is for ...

Window
We would love to see windows on your creations.
I thought I would combine a window with an aperature window (and I regretted it!!).

I stamped up the window, chair and Valentine Tilda, watercoloured them, and cut them out. I usedbrown cardstock and added some textured papers (thank you Becky), and stuck the window in the middle. Using a stencil template and distress ink I created the rambling vine. I then moved onto the inside and decorated both sides of the inside. Then (and I so regretted having the idea at this point) I cut the window panes out of the image through the cardstock and base. It took ages as there are so many layers and I broke a blade!!

I added punched flowers, which I backed so you don't get white on the inside of the card and some pearls.

Having neatened it all up I positioned Tilda on her chair so she is peeking through the window. I kept the inside plain as I started runing out of time!!


Do check out the other DT creations, especially our newest member of the DT Dawn.
