I teamed my old, neglected Window Dressing set with a newly purchased brick embossing folder. I love mixing old and new! I embossed the folder on Core'dinations CS so I could scuff the embossing. I stamped the images on watercolour paper, used inks and a waterbrush to colour them and cut them out. After stamping the sentiment I punched it out with a 1 3/4" circle punch, glued that flat to the card and then I popped the window up beneath the sentiment.
A Martha punch provided my grass at the bottom. The kitty is also popped up. I coloured him so he looked like my older kitty Tucker - dark grey with white bits and white paws and a white tip to the tail.

Oh, wow, how cute is this!! I imagine that little girl looking outside her den window, seeing the little kitty, and smiling to herself about all of the fun they can have together on a lazy summer day!!! Wonderful use of old and new things together!!
