This is my third attempt on 'good' paper. Needless to say, my initial effort on a piece of scrap has been sitting winking smugly at me all morning, secure in its perfection...
I used the inner frame from the die cut as the window & stamped through it, then masked off the various areas for sponging. The best way I found for doing the lines around the panes was to go around the inside of the stencil in pencil, remove the stencil & then go over them in fine marker. Yes, this bit of genius DID only occur to me on the third try! The snow is just dots of white gel pen.

What a super winter scene! Great card, and so quick too!
ReplyDeleteYour scene through the window is delightful. I know just how you feel about those "perfect practice pieces". I'm glad you persevered with this one; it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm afraid to go try this challenge now. Worth all the work and retries - that's how we learn! (I just wish I didn't always have to learn everything the hard way, lol!) Amazing OLW card!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for playing along with CASology again this week - I always love seeing your work!

ReplyDeleteThis is some one-layer card! WOW! Love the sweet winter scene! You made me laugh when you mentioned your scrap paper attempt being perfect! Isn't that the way it goes?! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us again at CASology!
What an amazing card! Love the winter scene! I certainly empathy with you on all the tries...happens to me all the time!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and colorful scene :)
ReplyDeleteLove the window pane effect and that sweet little snowy, night scene. I wish Elzybells were still around! Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteyour card is just brilliant, jenny!! love that little scene! thanks so much for playing along with CASology each week!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you created the window frame round the scene ... just delish!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the two challenges ~ love, love, love your sweet window scene!
ReplyDeleteThis is a charming and classic winter scene, Jenny. I know it would take me way more than three tries to attempt something like this! However, with other designs I can sure relate to having the "scratch" one turn out perfect ~ grrrr!
ReplyDeleteI just looked at this again and realized that I practically identically copied this card in November without giving you any credit. I swear it was unintentional (and obviously subliminal!) I'm so sorry - I'll try to do better!
