The Artist stamp has been coloured using Copic Markers and cut out and then mounted onto Storm 01-001 Mix and Match card cut using Spellbinders Grand Squares LF-126 and stamped with Brick Wall 40-137 coloured with Tim Holtz Tea Dye and Rusty Hinge inks.
The window was masked and stamped with Mummu's Roses 40-231, coloured with Copics and a Window Two S2-016 cut using Stone 02-003 Mix and Match card from Spellbinders added over the top.
The sentiment from Eloquence 30-162 was then stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with Vanilla Wow embossing powder.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great card Cathy . When I opened the blog my word was WOW ! Thanks for sharing this great creation ... so colourful and cheery looking .
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was of Vermeer - I think it's the peasant scene through the window with the young artist working - so reminiscent of many of his paintings' layout. I love your gradations of colour on that brickwork & the beautiful way in which the pale blue sky contrasts with both the bricks & the window frame.
ReplyDeletePaula (PEP)
