An Irish Window window-card!





Here's my "Irish" entry for the Waltzing Mouse February Waltz - Buttons.
I was inspired by this week's sketch at the Waltzing Mouse sketch challenge and by this beautiful picture/colors at EAD Designs to make an actual window card from the outside but looking out (!) and I had planned to use real buttons for nails/embellishments in the corners but had to use die-cut ones because the buttons I'd first chosen took the eye away from the actual scene of the card...

    Your card is really nice. My irish window this morning is showing rain and cloudy skies! I'll take yours; I like it a lot better. :c) Waltzing along, Robyn

    ooh, I long for the day when I can look out of my window and see trees of green. What a creative design and a fabulous use of WMS stamps. Awesome job.

    Holy cow! What an amazing card. I had to come back and check it out again. Yes, it is so nice I had to come by twice. ;-) I love those cheeky faux buttons and that dazzling aperture with the lace treatment. So so pretty!

    Cool design concept - I like the eyelet lacey 'curtain' over the top of the window and the muted colors.

    this is absolutely lovely. the die cut buttons are perfect for that whimsical look. i love that lil border punch on the inside of the window. i might have to CASE (with your permission) this sweet idea :)
