Here is another technique to create unique backgrounds. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Tempting Turquoise A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4, 3-3/4 x 3-1/4

   Basic White 5 x 3-3/4, Scraps, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

First, I followed the tutorial found on You Tube for the Dendritic Printing. I set it aside to dry.

I then die cut the window frame, using the Hearth & Home Framelits Dies.

Next, I punched the Gray cat with the Cat Punch.

I then stamped and punched the sentiment.

Next, I assembled my card:

    I adhered the Dendritic Printing onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Turquoise card front.

    I attached the window frame, using dimensionals.

    I added the Gray cat, using dimensionals and adhesive.

    I adhered the sentiment at the top center of the window frame with a bit of adhesive.

    Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Weathered Friends

 I do not know what it is about rain that affects my mood. It could be the sound, the smell, the fresh clean look, or the coolness. No matter the reason, the effect is my calm, somber mood of reflection. I also like watching the rain fall past my window. Such is the inspiration for this card.

Stamps:

   Under My Umbrella

Paper:

   Poppy Parade A-2

   Pool Party 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), 3-1/4 x 4

   Smoky Slate 4 x 3

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Pool Party

Markers:

   Pool Party

   So Saffron

   Basic Black

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   Umbrella Builder Punch

   Hearth & Home Framelits Dies

   Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the window frame. I placed it on my card front, and penciled in the corners of the panes. This way, I could stamp my raindrops within the panes and not outside of the window frame.

Next, I stamped and punched out my umbrella. I colored it in with my markers.

I then adhered the window frame and stamped the boots and sentiment. I colored the boots using my markers.

I attached the umbrella with dimensionals and added a few clear epoxy raindrop shapes.

Lastly, I adhered the card front to the Pool Party panel and then onto the card base. The other Whisper White panel is adhered to the inside of the card.

Paper:

   Balmy Blue A-2

   Whisper White 2 1/2 x 3 1/8

First, I sponged my Whisper White with So Saffron, and then stamped the trees from the Winter Woods stamp set using Early Espresso.

Second, I die cut my window and adhered the image of the trees behind it. Make sure that none of the Whisper White peeks around the Window Frame sides.

Third, I adhered the Balmy Blue Gingham DSP onto the card base. I then added the window frame.

Lastly, I rubbed on the sentiment onto a scrap of So Saffron and adhered it using dimensionals.

The card is simple and easy to create. The sentiment can be changed out to suit your needs.

Note the following:

I stamped and colored my scene on Whisper White. Sky was sponged with Smoky Slate and the ground with Crushed Curry.

I glued the scene onto my die cut window frame.

For the pumpkins I inked them with Tangerine Tango, then I used the blender pen to remove the ink from the stem. I colored it with my Garden Green marker. Breathed on it to moisten the ink and then stamped it. I did this with all three pumpkins.

I used Fast Fuse to attach my ribbon. I used dimensionals to adhere the pumpkins and the sentiment.

Thank you so much for dropping by here. If you have any questions, just ask. The card is not difficult to make.
