I sort of poked around doing this...nothing was jumping out at me and I always wait for that to happen, like a bolt of lightening. In the end, I was influenced by many things...the fact that most of what I saw was in neutral colors but consistently, there were deeper shades of blue and gray. I kept wanting to put an orange pillow on some of the furniture. Beautiful homes and furnishings but I don't think I could live in a house that is so neutral and planned out. There was a lot of architecture like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/561050066096115458/
I also liked this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/561050066096115573/
I ended up coming a window with some vintage flocked wallpaper, which is behind the window. Yes, it's a window without a view. Found the background dsp in my scrap bin. Found a quote about a window. The window has layers of sprays, paint and chunky ep, reflecting that dark blue/gray I kept seeing.
BTW one really interesting thing to me is that a house and a kitchen sink reminded me of the last house I owned. Here are the pictures: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/561050066096115517/
and the house: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/218213544432963916/
Architecturally, this house looks a lot like the house my grandparents built when they moved to this village in the 1920s; I owned it for 25 years. And the kitchen still had a sink like that, mine was original to the house and not as pristine.

Your card is so intriguing...by that I mean that I want to study it and think of where this could be and what goes on behind and in front of that beautiful window. Well done!

I noticed windows too when browsing but having made several Christmas card with windows recently I needed a change! I love the texture on your window and the pretty paper behind

I had to laugh when you said you had a kitchen sink like the one on pinterest only not as pristine -my thought was "and it probably didn't cost $1679.oo either!!" This is a beautiful die cut window - they always make me think of church windows though I must say I often see them in homes featured on a show called "Escape to the Country" from England. The Bubbly "wallpaper" is a s fun as your window.

Your card is lovely with the soft neutral colors. I remember the sink my grandmother had was exactly like your link. I Love the quote...it fits you and how you create. TFS
