Hello crafty friends! Art Impressions recent release includes a great new cabin on a lake scene called Boat Window Accessory Set 5409. This is a great miniature scene which includes a separate rustic boat stamp and die. My little personal touch is the red door. My house has a red door so I usually color doors red as a nod to my own home. These little window scenes are perfect to color in any way you like. I chose to watercolor my window scene using Zig Clear Color Pens. I added shine to the water with a coating of clear Wink of Stella. The sparkle reminds me of lake water on a summer day.
Like many card makers, I love patterned papers and I try to use them to make my cardmaking a little easier. This 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" paper caught my eye and I've been waiting for an opportunity to use it. It's Recollections from Michaels. I'm not sure it's still available but it's called Secret Gardenia. It has rose gold foil details and pretty vintage bird and floral images. I used another piece of turquoise paper splattered with rose gold foil to cut out the word Hello several times. I stacked them to create the thick look. I used a washed turquoise piece of cardstock from the Heidi Swapp My Favorite Things 6 x 6 paper pad. I splattered the card with watered down white acrylic paint for additional rustic vibes. The window sets pair beautifully with the new Shadow Box Window Die 5408. It comes with the dies to recess your image behind the window frame and includes a window box. It lays flat when shut but pops up when the card is opened. It's a great way to add some unexpected dimension to your card.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this card and seeing the cool effect that the Shadow Box Window Die provides for your Window Accessories stamps.
Happy Stamping!
