 | | Fun Challenge! I so forgot about it being Groundhog Day. That little guy is bound to out playing because we really had NO winter at all.
Anyway...for my repetition, I actually stamped the sea scape, masked it and stamped a partial right side again. I also stamped the lighthouse twice and the only way I could show you was to upload 2 pics: open and closed.
It was painted using Peerless water colors and a couple of water brushes. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and spray from the surf to the rocks.
For the window segments, I die cut 4 windows out of the same water color paper. I also die cut 2 pieces of cardboard for the windows. The cardboard was used to sandwich in between the other two layers to give a little more stability. I determined that with the windows on either end, I could make my card base out of a regular piece of 8.50 wide piece of c/s. I cut the height to 4.50 then scored in 1 1/8 from each end along the 8.50 width. The top pair of windows were attached to their matching pieces of cardboard. On the right I attached this on top of the lighthouse then attached one of the two single windows on the back side. Since the lighthouse is a pretty symmetrical image, I stamped, colored and cut out a second image and attached it on top of the inside window.
On the left, I trimmed off a little of the hinge before I added a punched fence between the window layers. I left a little tab of fence because it helps to keep the trifold card closed when it's tucked behind the right side window. The sentiment was trimmed and added on top of the window frame. The closed card is 6.25 x 4.50 (A6)
Thanks so much for looking and for reading all this wordiness, lol. But I didn't want to force you to go to my blog but I'd really like it if you did  Close ups and more pics are on my blog: The Write Stuff |
