This scene was taken from a piece of scrapbook paper. The window was sponged with Caramel and popped up on the wallpaper background with dimensionals. That's it - easy peasy.
A couple of bright red cardinals in the white birch trees, with a soft snow sky behind. A smidgeon of Caramel sponged on the window which was then highlighted with the lightest greys. Acetate made window panes and then it was placed flat against the wallpaper background.
My dream was always to live on the water - a tropical island would do very find thank you! This looks out from the North side of the house. So peaceful looking at the Palm Trees on the nearby island. The window was sponged in Caramel and has acetate panes, placed flat against the wallpaper background.
Looking the other direction, at night, we have a totally difference scenescape creation. Nothing beats the sound of waves gently lapping the shore.
There are slight differences between these two windows. They are cut with the PoppyStamps Grand Madison Die and are shaded lightly with Copics C1, C0, & 0. There are no window panes, and the windows are popped up using Dimensionals. This allows the vase of flowers on the table, just below the window sill, to move freely and provides good depth.
The fence and curtains are done with Martha Stewart punches. Notice the slight difference in the curtain patterns. The garden foliage is again using the MS Pine Branch punch - this time cutting them into smaller pieces to create the garden.
Windows in two different rooms give you very different scenes to look at. Both are on fairly dark, rich, wallpaper. This window scenescape was done in fall and shows the deer down by the water. The window is sponged lightly with Caramel, while acetate makes the window panes for this one.
The one in winter is off deer grazing in the yard, fairly close to the house. The scene is colored with Copics, and the window has soft subtle CO, C1, & O Copics to accentuate the markings on the window itself. Again with Crystal Lacquer for the window panes. This window has a pine sprig on top, made using a Martha Stewart Pine Branch Punch. The Berries are made using the 1/16th" hole punch. So tiny they are hard to work with.
In my dreams, this is my grandson fishing on the dock in our yard. The window was sponged lightly with Caramel and popped up on the wallpaper background with dimensionals. Crystal Lacquer smeared across the image with my finger made the window panes.
In between all the cupcakes, our granddaughter had a birthday and I had a ball with these cute little monsters. One thing is for sure, I have to shop for some more Crystal Lacquer! It is on the images, the cake, balloons, etc. They were all colored with Copics and a Copic Gold Glitter Pen was used on the floating stars. If it sounds like I have a lot of supplies.....well.....
Cupcake background paper. Image colored with Copics and popped up with dimensionals. The inside simply says "and then I woke up"
Birthday Anya colored with chalks and layered onto a "Hey Cupcake" background. As with the others, bling colored red for the Cherry, Crystal Lacquer on the cupcake and her hairpiece.
Another card where the background paper is loaded with soft, subtle glittering. Her skirt is Paper Pieced. Crystal Lacquer used on the cupcake, her flower and headwear. The "Cherry on Top" is a large Bling, colored Red with Copics
Too bad this doesn't scan well. Think it's my favorite of all the cupcakes. The corners are rounded. Lots of Crystal Lacquer used. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart Punch. It had two butterflies punched and layered one on top of the other so that the top wings stand out, or, flutter free. The base paper has subtle glittering on the blue dots and speckles. Really a striking card.
A friend requested a dozen cupcake cards, including some black/abstract style. I had so much fun creating these - want to do more!!! The silver used was gift wrap paper, the glittery abstract papers were from an old DCWV glitter stack. Thought they turned out pretty well. She was thrilled.
