This card incorporates several SCS challenges. I didn't plan it this way, but who am I to complain? LOL! I purposely used the sketch from April's Fan Club/Dirty Dozen Gallery and the Blue Bayou color challenge, but realized that it also applies to the When the Chips are Down (Ways to Use It Challenge) and Stacked Ribbon (Try a New Technique Challenge). It's also the first time that I've used this stamp set, so it applies to this fun challenge. http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/...omethings.html
My card base is Whisper White cs followed by a layer of Taken With Teal (I substituted this for Blue Bayou since I don't have that cs or ink). I used my rectangle Spellbinders Nestabilities to cut out the window in the Teal and Chocolate Chip layers. I stamped the Canvas background stamp with Chocolate Chip ink onto the Chocolate Chip cs and added the stacked ribbons and Dew Drops. The sentiment is stamped with Taken With Teal ink directly onto the card base through the window. I added the two rows of teal Twinkle stickers for a little eye candy.
Two of the chipboard flowers were smashed into the Teal ink pad and the third was smashed into the Chocolate pad. All three were then smashed into my Essential Glue Pad so I could dump on Dazzling Diamonds for some real shimmer. I added some brads to the two bigger flowers and adhered them to the card with Dimensionals. I layered the smaller chipboard flower onto a Ghost Shape flower and added a small chocolate Prima flower to it with a brad and added it to the card with a Dimensional.
Oh yeah, speaking of Dimensionals. There are about 20 Dimensionals between the white card base and the Teal cs layer. Phew! Love these window cards.
ETA: I've posted a better, sunnier picture.
