Hello Dear Friends!
It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!
Here's today's theme:
WINDOWS
and here's an inspiration board created to help get you started . . .
What a fun theme idea! Thanks Diane!
Here's what I've come up with using a variety of goodies in my stash . . .
First I decided upon this Window from the Paperie 'Golden Harmony' paper cut outs for the main focus. I had some old window dies but thought I'd go a different route today.
Next I went through a couple of my sticker books and found this beautiful Fall scene in the Autumn Garden book. I placed it onto a scrap of white card stock then positioned my paper cut out window over top. Tracing around the window and cutting the scene to fit within the outline of the window. I used dimensional tape on the backside of the window before adhering to the sticker scene.
Now to decide what to use for my background. I have so many beautiful Fall paper packs but the Brutus Monroe 'Fallfoliage' was what I was looking for! (Sadly this paper pack has been discontinued ... don't ask me why ... it's gorgeous!) I even got hubby's opinion on which side of this beautiful Fall paper to use with my window scene ...that's always a tough decision when working with 2-sided papers.
I used a couple of my Tombow markers to add a touch of coordinating color on the sides of the middle white panel. My sentiment was created using Scrapbook.com 'Uptown' alphabet dies.
