Window Swap Card


Today's card was created for a swap - the only requirement was that it be a window card.  Here's the one that I made.  I'm still not great at scene building, so couldn't execute the idea as cleanly as it was in my head, but here it is.

Inside:


Materials:
  • Paper/Card stock - to the card blank itself, I added several papers - a green glimmer paper and a couple of pieces of patterned paper from a Love Nicole paper pad called Prismatic.  I particularly liked the stripe for the walls.  Since the patterned paper ran from wider strips to narrower ones, it helped portray depth and distance in the room.
  • Dies - "window" was cut using dies from Gemini's Window Arches; the word Friend was from their Peek-a-Boo Dog set. 
  • Stamps - The little girl is stamped with Child at Fence Fronts-N-Backs by Art Impressions; the sentiment stamp is from the set Lacy Things (HOTP); fireplace, cat & yarn are from Pawfect Pals (Cardmaking & Papercraft Jan 2020), wall to wall carpeting was stamped with a Stampscapes texture stamp.
  • Coloring - Coloring was mostly done with Inktense pencils & water, some watercolor pencils were also used.  The color on the die cut word "Friend" was ink from a stamp pad. I hand drew the round rug - should have drawn it less round for proper perspective. (Live & learn!)
  • Additional stickers & die cuts from my stash completed the card.
