Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs June Release Blog Hop!
Ever since I first saw these new images, I knew I wanted to make a window card. I used both the small and large petite oval die sets to create my window. To begin, I cut a layer out of white c/s slightly smaller than the front of my 5.50 x 4.25 white card and stacked the layer on top of the card front. Using the largest of the large ovals, I die cut them together so they would match up when attached. The largest of the small ovals was used to cut the coral layer which I sandwiched between the card and the top layer.
The bicycle was stamped, colored w/ markers and cut out above the top rail of the fence. The scene from Missing You was stamped on the inside of the card along with the sentiment. I added a little extra bit of fence on the inside of the window to complete the bicycle scene on the front. A couple of die cut pennants and buttons were added for extra interest.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
