Today we are featuring the new Framescapes: Window of Wishes stamp set, illustrated by Theresa Momber. Theresa has such a gift for creating unique stamp sets that are full of ways to customize your creations! This set has so many different options to add to the window: curtains, trees, a branch, a bird, and flowers.
For my card, I was immediately drawn to the trees. I wanted to create an early morning scene that reminds me of looking out one of my windows. I started by using Distress Oxide inks to sponge a background using several different blues/aquas. I then stamped the large tree cluster twice in black ink. For the window image, I stamped it on kraft cardstock and cut it out using a craft knife. After laying the cutout window image over the ink blended background I felt like it was too vibrant for the peaceful scene I wanted to create. To diffuse the colors a little, I layered some vellum underneath the cutout window image to help replicate a frosty glass look.
For the curtains, I paper pieced them using some patterned paper. I adhered the window onto patterned paper that I had already stamped with the included sentiments.
