Week of 3/21/20 Cards

 FS684 - the incredibly talented featured stamper today is Pauline, better known around here as meisu4. I absolutely love her gallery. It has so many incredible cards to inspire. I found this terrific CARD

USEIT2020 - Window, fence & Shades die cuts

I was inspired by the wonderful window die cut in Pauline's card and knew I had that die cut in my stash of items I needed to get used up. I also found this fence and the scalloped circle die cut in that tote to get used and thought I would make a window scene looking in the window rather than looking out.

In place of the sentiment I put the fence and grass and rather than a smooth white I used this textured brick EF.

I added the kitty to the window and sponged some yellow on it.

USEIT2020 - Window die cut from my tote of items I am trying to use up

I am trying to use up several items already die cut in a tote and this window die cut was in the tote. I punched many pieces of green to create the tree and layered under the window. Embossed the white layer with brick and added the black iron fence. Used a torn white to add snow and finished with stickles, gems and the red ribbon.

I needed to get my monthly donation made for the pet sympathy cards and the bold BG for her journal was perfect to inspire my cards.
