That being said, it's time once again for The Sweet Stop sketch and this one is just perfect for showing off those large scenic stamps.
Creative Nugget: I just love this new window die from Our Daily Bread Designs. The detail is fabulous and it works so well with many of the stamps you already have! I decided to pair the window with a cute little stamp from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called "O Christmas Tree," which is not available right now in the store. The window and curtain dies were cut and shaded with my copic markers. A piece of vellum was attached behind the top part of the window which was decorated with rhinestones. Little twine tie-backs were added to the curtains...fun, and the windowsill was cut again for the popped up sentiment. Then it was time to work on the scene behind the window. A piece of Select White card stock was cut to fit the window. The Christmas tree scene was stamped so the image would be centered in the window, and colored with copic markers. The snow mounds were stamped again onto vellum, cut out, and adhered over the main image. Then Star Dust Stickles was added to the snow and the branches to give it some sparkle. The window was then popped up on top of the wintery scene and adhered to the card front which was made to look like a room complete with Eskimo Kisses DP and a black velvet ribbon chair rail. Some piercing was added to the corners before attaching the whole card to a True Black card base. I deviated a little from the sketch as there seemed to be no perfect place for the little circle text element. I had so much fun designing this card...I know I will be using this window die again and again!
