I made this card this week for Roberta aka stampin'nana upcoming birthday...I have not had the opportunity to post it yet... the birthday sentiment is inside..I did the madison window die cut in whisper white and added lavendar lace to back of window... I also used punch for curtain (DP)...I used brick EF for wall and stamped and coloured window box with flowers...I then punched out leaves and flowers to make the cherry blossom tree that is in bloom beside her house...I die cut the fence and coloured grass. Roberta has two little poodles called Bella and Autumn and they are these colours so I had to draw them as I didnt have stamps for them....Ok I admit they are not very realistic, except for the colour....After she received the card, she said that her house is brown with white windows, shutters with hearts on them and flower boxes on the windows... This I did not know until after but it is really uncanny how I depicted her house as if I had seen it...needless to say, she was very impressed with the card....
Thanks for taking a peek... Hope you like it....

This scene of my house is absolutely AMAZING, Alice! Every little detail depicts my life at this moment! (Well, no blooming trees nor leaves left on them and no more pretty flowers to view, but they'll be back.) You did a fantastic job with the dogs and the colors,(even getting my favorite in there) hearts, shutters & window box are all spot on! You put your heart and soul into this card and made it just for me! I was pretty overwhelmed when I opened it! Thank you so very much from my ♥ to your ♥ ! I love it all~ You are a real treasure to me, Sis! ; )
