Through the Window today......

Here's a card I made with the Memory Box window die, Primula die and Twig branch die, Martha Stewart fence, leaves and small butterfly. All the elements were cut from white card and coloured with Promarkers. 



 I added some very neutral paper behind the window, the sort that looked as if it could be wallpaper inside the house. I embossed the card with a woodgrain folder and inked it, I wanted it to look like weatherbeaten wood cladding. I sponged green ink onto the bottom, to provide a background to the flowers behind the picket fence

The fence is a halloween fence punch by Martha Stewart that I picked up for a ridiculous sum - about $2 when they were selling off all the halloween stuff. I knew that I could use it year round if I snipped off the little bats - in fact, I think the little bats would look like holly leaves as well, inked in green and with a couple of dots of red here and there.




I am having a lovely visit here in London, we went to see Kiki and Monty yesterday, photos to follow, and I will be driving home later, I just hope it will be a better journey than the drive down, when a two hour journey took 4 1/2 hours because of motorway delays

  8. Hi Enfys, what a beautiful card. You are so lucky to have grabbed that punch for 2$. I will have more time to craft this weekend and will try making a card like this one. I need to go buy more Promarkers. Have a safe drive back.

  10. Love your card. Don't ya love when something is on clearance like that? I've gotten quite a few things this way, things that are "holiday" often only because of the color. Great use of the punches.

  27. I was just admiring the fence when I read how cheap you got it!! Wow that was a bargain and a half lol. I have been a bad blogger Enfys, feel like I have been living in a cave lol. Getting some construction done, house is a mess but I have to keep crafting as I have orders to see too. Hopefully the end result will be a new craft room for me:)
