Hey there, y'all!
I'm so excited to show you this sneak peek of a new release from Taylored Expressions called From My Window. What an awesome set! And it pairs perfectly with the new Arched Window die.
Oh my, I just couldn't help but make a scene looking out "my window" from my beach cottage, complete with wood siding walls.
~
I colored the wonderful coastal image using Copic markers and mounted it behind 2 layers of the Arched Window die cut. Everything is popped up on 1/16" foam mounting tape.
I had such fun making the walls using strips of white cardstock. They were dry brushed with some Frayed Burlap and Tumbled Glass Distress inks. Then the bottom edge of each "plank" was rubbed using an emery board also pressed into the Frayed Burlap. This is how I put the wall together onto the card front.
~
The little sign was made the same way. The sentiment (which I LOVE) was stamped in Brushed Corduroy Distress ink.
I used this week's Unscripted Sketches #200 for my layout and I'm also entering the Crazy 4 Challenges C4C175 to use a window:

Broni, this is amazing! You did a gorgeous job of recreating a scene that I'd love to be in today...especially after the 10+ plus inches of snow we got overnight!

This is just the coolest card I have seen in ages!!! I have a window die and I may very well copy your board siding technique. Really like the touch of Tumbled Glass you added to the siding, too. You are a very clever girl. Thanks bunches for sharing! Taylored Expressions is so lucky to have you showcasing their products. Oh and your coloring is divine.

Wow....you really captured the beach vibe here. I'm blown away by your siding...just wonderful texture and color and dimension. This is probably one of my favorites from you, Broni. I can almost hear the waves slapping the shore!

Absolutely specatacular! I love that you shared the tutorial on how you achieved the amazing effect of the weather worn wooden planks. The scene outside the window really does make me yearn to visit the ocean! Thank you so much for choosing our Unscripted Sketch to showcase this stunning creation!
