This is for Paula's lovely HYCCT challenge...make a card without stamps.
This card started out being a 6" square card. I fussy cut the paper to look like a rose garden. For something a bit different I made the rolled roses with green metalic paper. I added the window die and some lace.
I got a bit carried away with the flowers and it looked terrible so I carefully removed the window then I cut 2" off the right hand side of the card and started again by making a centre step card. I used a brick wall die cut as a stencil and sponged on some ink.
Thank you for looking. I hope you are joining in the fun of HYCCT 2014. To see this challenege and all the other challenges to date, click here .

Love the flower garden on the side of the window. Lace curtains - nice touch. You have so much patience. I have looked at a diagram for a step card and after reading the instructions gave up. Might try again though after seeing your card and all the other lovely ones in the gallery.

Susie, this challenge was made for YOU! You are an paper sculptor when it comes to creating scenes made up of die cuts and techniques. Your card is GORGEOUS and all you details, large and small, beg to be studied.

This is AMAZEBALLS, which has to be the least elegant way to describe such a lovely and classy card, but it's just WOW! Love, love, love everything you did here. No one is going to give this card away. They are going to keep it and put it on the wall! Awesome.

Susie, I can't imagine any of your cards looking terrible! This looks like a castle with a gorgeous section of climbing flowers and vines! What a fantastic looking creation~

There isn't anyone who doesn't love these step cards! The lace curtains in the window look hand made. Your roses are just gorgeous, Susie! The textured paper on your stenciled brick looks awesome!
