Scene through a window...

Happy Monday,

Today's card is a prefect way to use your media plate and stamped images that don't come out the way you want!

Thats exactly what happened with this stamped image I didn't like the larger piece so I framed it with the embossing folder and added snow as a shaker card to clever the bits i didn't like!



I started by taking an image I weans pleased with and started the framing.  I cut the aperture in the centre of a piece of white card then embossed it with the Snowflake circle embossing folder.  I used gold Izink pigment ink pad and gently rubbed form the centre out over the embossed surface.  This gives the gold tinge on the snowflakes which fades to the edges.

Next I cut a smaller aperture in a piece of green then again in gold card adding a layer of acetate between the white and green.  I then added some snow and foam mounted this over the gold before adding the image.

I then simply matted and layers the card and added a bow and hat pin!

Enjoy...

    Morning John, lovely creation today made from something that just wasn't right - we have all had them from time to time (yes I get lots) and some go in the bin but you have shown us how to utilise our other craft products to create a lovely card, the bow just makes it pop.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Hi John. Love the colours of this one and the fact that you have managed to create a wintery scene without using the normal colours.

    Your color combination is very pleasing to my eyes. Good job of using a designed image that you were not pleased with after stamping. Thanks for the suggestion to "save" an art work.
