I'm having too much fun...

with my new Window Die. If you can't be at the beach, a peaceful winter scene will do.

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 beach house (in my dreams)

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.



Flower Garden - Outside Looking In

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.

Flowers were made using either a tiny flower punch, or a regular hole punch. Both kinds of flowers are "cupped", again providing depth and dimension. The centers are created using a 1/16" hole punch - teeny, tiny and hard to work with.





Deer in the yard...

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.




WINDOWS...

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.


I have a new Die and am having too much fun. Pretend these are all rooms of my house (or my summer cottage), and you'll see what amazing scenery I have.
