Today my card will be shared with Poppystamps Challenge Blog where the challenge this month is Anything goes. So I went to all my dies from them and found that I have not used this window die in quite some time, so now is the perfect time to get it out and use it.
I started by inking my brick embossing folder with some ink, then I ran it through my die machine to get the impression of ink onto the background of the brick. I cut the window out twice and layered them for a little more depth, glued a patterned paper behind to look like wallpaper, and added a little border die for the valance. This window die set comes with the shutters and the window box as well as the cute flowers. Those were inked. I felt it needed a little more so I added a fence with a grass punched border behind it and a little cardinal sitting on it. Hung a little sign for my sentiment and attached with some jute twine.

This looks awesome Connie! Love how you did the brick wall and a peek inside to see the valance & wallpaper is precious! GREAT JOB! I have these dies too and rarely remember to use them ... thanks for the push!! Fabulously wholesome scene you have created ... love it!
This is another outstanding card. I am so in love with the way you made your brick wall. I'd like to have the folder now. The curtains and shutters, and everything else makes this card delightful.

What a beautiful card! I adore that brick background and the design of your scene. Everyone should have a little white picket fence. This is fantastic!
