Hello and Happy December! I’m playing along with the Wednesday Challenge at Simon Say Stamp, whose theme this week is “Anything Goes.” I’ve created a card with Penny Black supplies using one of my favorite card motifs – the window. I have envisioned a winter evening.
- To begin, I heat-embossed the #30-387 Festive Snippets sentiment on white cardstock in silver. Next I cut the #51-135 Ironwork Window above the heat-embossing. The window die does not cut the outside lines, so I then used a rectangle die to cut the rectangle.
- I’ve placed two lanterns behind the window, which were cut with the #51-275 Winter Lantern die set. I cut the lanterns from foil cardstock and white cardstock. I colored the white cardstock with Copic markers and added them behind the silver die-cuts (I snipped away the candles).
- I stamped the background with the #40-706 Snowflake Pattern stamp. I have been using a lot of dark blue this holiday season. Not sure what that’s all about!
- I backed the window with the same cardstock as the background, but without the snowflakes, and added the assembled panel to the background.
Supplies:
Gorgeous design with the lanterns in the open window, Jean! So beautiful with the candle glow against the blue card!!
Very pretty, Jean. Love those glowing candles behind the shutters.
The sentiment was the perfect touch for the lanterns. Love the snowflake background.
