Happy Tuesday! It doesn’t seem possible that Christmas is already past and the New Year is upon us. Time sure flies! I played in the Tuesday Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge to use Bashful Blue, Night of Navy and White and a little sparkle. I decided to create a snowy winter window scene using my new small Madison Window by Poppy Stamps. Here is what I came up with.
I cut out two windows and cut the sides off of each of them and fused them together to create a double hung window. I like the effect of covering almost the whole card front. I stamped the tree from Rubbernecker Kittie Kits Fall Harvest set and touched a bit of white craft ink in the branches and embossed with white embossing powder. I created a cloudy background using a hand cut cloud template and a sponge.
I thought the little white fence with flower soft snow would be cute in the yard and in front of the tree.
The finishing touch was adding the white sprigs of foliage and navy flowers. I added touches of Stickles on the flowers, the foliage and even the tree limbs and branches but it doesn’t show well in the photos.
I hope you are enjoying your final week of 2011.

Hello Kittie,

I love the French doors this die made!! Fantastic effect Kittie!!
Kittie, I am loving all your window creations. You are very talented!
The clouds you made for the background are so perfect, Kittie and a great use of the bashful blue. I am so loving these window cards and the scenes that you create with them. I’ve had one of these window dies on order for a while and it looks like I will have to create “Spring” scenes by the time I get it (lol).
What a gorgeous scene!
Your window cards are fantastic! I’m sure you are already thinking ahead for making spring and summer scenes! I enjoy seeing your artwork each day!
Brilliant Kittie….I love this card. I love the blue and the white! Oh you always treat us with such goodness!
I love your(ALL)cards. You are so creative of and what is so nice is that most of your cards are besides wonderful but they are pretty easy to make. Thanks so much for tells us how you make them also. I know it is hard some times putting everything in words but you do a wonderful job. I hope you have a Wonderful New Year and looking forward to see all your stunning new cards though 2012.

Great idea to make a double window and what a wonderful scene you have created!
Another daily visitor here :). Love the idea of making a double window from the smaller Madison Window die. All of your cards are simply gorgeous! My die collection is growing thanks to you ;-).
I have just found your blog and I am so excited about it. Your work is such an inspiration to me, not to mention how beautiful it is! I have spent hours going over your older blog posts and reading your tutorials. I ordered the Grande window just last night. Can’t wait to get it!
Such a nice color challenge card! Great winter-white scene. You always add such great little details that add so much to the already beautiful card! 🙂
Your window treatment concept for winter is refreshing! Although designed for a card, adopting it to a real window would be nice. The white sprigs of foliage on top are my favorite element – they somehow soften the whole look of the window design.
