I stamped the shuttered window onto white card with dark brown ink then used a damp brush re-wet the outlines and add colour to the shutters, the frame and the front ledge. I stamped three pots in an orangy-brown colour to look like terricota and then masked them off to stamp the flowers. The background was easy, just a wood-grain stamp inked with dark brown ink on brown card stock. I cut out the window and stuck it onto the background. I used foam tape to slighly raise the shutters and add to the 3D look.

What a precious window-scene! The love the contrast of the delicate flowers on the windowsill with the rustic outside paneling - I feel like I am peeking into a cabin tucked away on a lake. Very fun! (That wood plank background stamp is awesome, by the way!).
