Hello, my friends. How are you all doing? I hope you all are hanging in there. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. Besides going to work, I stay at home with the family and try to distract myself as much as possible by crafting, cleaning, baking, helping the kids with school work... I wish I could just sit and relax but I just can't :(
Today's card was obviously was inspired by our current reality. Most of us are now looking at the world through a window by staying as safe as possible in our homes. I pray we all do our part so that we can be with each other in person again soon.
To begin, I stamped the PEONY TRIMMINGS out and then colored them in using Copic markers. If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen that I colored the peonies during Kathy Racoosin's last 30-day coloring challenge.
I then used the PEONY TRIMMINGS coordinating dies to cut out the flowers.
Next, I created the shaker window. I die cut all the pieces form the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 and used most of them to make the window scene. To the center frame, I glued a piece of ACETATE and then added the two inside window frames that I colored with a grey marker.
I then added FOAM TAPE along the edge of the window frame, filled it with SATIN RAINBOW CONFETTI added the cloud-like banners from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 to create a curtain-like design and then closed the shaker up with a piece of cardstock that I had blended with some Atelier Inks from Ink On3 to make it look like a sunrise.
To the card panel, I blended out the brick background using the SQUARE BRICK stencil and Iced Spruce Distress Oxide ink. I then glued the shaker window in the center of the card front and glued the scallop frame to the background. I then glued the peonies onto the card front.
To finish the card off I stamped out the thinking of you sentiment from the PEONY TRIMMINGS and then die cut it out using a banner die from the PEONY TRIMMINGS coordinating dies.
I hope you find this card inspiring. Please stay safe and stay home and keep looking out your windows! As a health care worker, that means so much to me as it increases my chances of also staying safe and keeping my family safe.
Thank you for stopping by 😊
Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
