We have another challenge from the Woodware design team this week & this one comes from our guest designer Kim Rygate. Kim has chosen the theme of "Window" designs & one that I used to use a lot & had forgotten about so it was good to re visit it. The concept is quite simple really; take a piece of card which will be the front of your design & cut an aperture which can have a decoration around & a sentiment or artwork underneath i.e inside the "window" . I have taken a piece of pink card die cut an aperture & embossed it with an embossing folder. The sentiment which has been stamped inside the window is from "Delightful Verse". 

The roses have been die cut & stamped using the Stampendous Build a Bouquet Stamp & die sets. I have coloured with Sakura pencils & given them some shape with a Character Shaper. After attaching to the card I have covered the leaves with Glossy Accents & given the butterflies the Stickles treatment.

We're featuring the subject of travel this week & I've come up with another "blokey" card using 2 of the new stamps from Aspects of Design. I've stamped with black onto a piece of background which I created a while ago when playing with the Creative Palette from Stampendous- I knew all those pieces would come in handy one day! The border at the left hand side is a torn piece from  the Textura pad stamped with the Shipped Script. The card blank itself has been run through a script embossing folder to give it some texture. The very apt message has also been printed onto the cardstock. To finish I've added some seam binding which I've coloured with a grey inkpad & the pewter brads. .  

Here's  a closer look.

Our theme this week is "Boys & Their Toys" & toys to Mr Frosty were always ones which went with water so I thought I'd go for a nautical look.

I've chosen "Sailing By" from Francoise Read which is a large stamp & comes as you see it here so it's great for cutting up into separate sections if you wish. I've stamped twice, once with black & then with grey. I've used the Sakura Stardust pens to watercolour the black printed image & then I've cut it up & placed it over the grey image. Simples! I've layered onto red & navy card & added some gingham ribbon to trim. To finish I've added some faux stitching & some buttons.
