Another Cottage Scene

Just because there are new products coming in the new Annual catalogue does not mean that we have to forget about the "oldies".

For instance, in this card, I brought back Swirly Bird and the Window Framelit, and together with some new catalogue products created this cottage scene.

Am I wishing for warm weather or what?


The Soft Suede card base is layered first with Crumb Cake and then Wood Texture DSP which has been embossed with the Brick Embossing Folder. The last two layers were added to the card front at a slight angle

The window was die cut with Crumb Cake card stock and the edges sponged with Crumb Cake ink. A piece of Window Sheet was adhered to the wrong side of the window.

On the other side of the window is a cottage scene depicting a sail boat on a lake, clouds in the sky, and a branch with flowers on it.

The branch and flowers were stamped with "Colorful Seasons"; the water with "High Tide": The boat with "Swirly Bird".  I created the clouds using 3 scallop circles adhered together, a sponge and Marina Mist ink.

On the window sill, I placed 6 stamped and die cut flowers, with leaves and 2 birds from the Swirly Bird set.  Below is a close up of the window.
