My first card uses mostly all die cuts. And what fabulous dies they are..a Welcoming Window (just the right size, I might add!), Shutters, and a Flower Box Filler! For the background, flowers, awning & hearts I die cut the pieces out of several different sheets from the Shabby Rose paper collection. I attached a piece of transparency behind the window then ran them both thru the embossing cycle again so the windows would have some shape.
The little flower pot on the right was made using the same window box die..I just moved one end to cut it shorter. The little girls silhouette was stamped on paper to put behind the window. I thought they fit perfectly with the greeting & also gives you a little view inside the window. I also added a section of awning die cut out of the pink gingham inside the window as a valance.
Here’s a look at the inside. I used the negative of the flower box filler as a stencil and sponged the flower border thru it. This card is 5.50 x 4.25.

My second card uses the beautiful Blossom set. After die cutting the label shape, I sponged a little pink inside the die then stamped the label frame, greeting & rosebud inside. I also stamped just the top petal, fussy cut it & popped it up for a little dimension.
The background was stamped w/ the Belles Vignes image & added a little pink to parts of it. Two butterflies were stamped, colored, die cut & added. Some stickles was added to the butterflies, rose and here & there on the vine for a little sparkle.
