In my box I was trying to create the impression of looking through trees to the lit window of a house on that special night. I hope I have succeeded!
My lit window is the Girl with Bird stamp, from Flonzcraft also available in a large stamp sheet full of silhouettes.
I die-cut round apertures of increasing sizes in each of my panels and decorated them with die-cuts:
* stars: Papertrey Ink (centre of Snowflakes)
* Tree branches, Deer and Christmas tree: Memory Box
I cut the tree branches and Christmas tree from a piece of watercolour paper on which I had tested Brushos, not very successful as a background, but I loved the variegated look it gave the die-cuts. Quite pleased I saved it from the bin...
Hop over to the Vintage Stamping Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has made this month. Join us in showcasing some winter trees for the chance to win a $20 voucher for the Flonzcraft shop. Remember your make doesn't need to be vintage but it does need to have some stamping (rubber, polymer, foam...), no digis allowed!
Thanks for coming by,

ReplyDeleteC'est super original, j'adore ton idée et ta petite scène est vraiment trop jolie!!! bravo Christine
ReplyDeleteSi jamais je trouve le temps, j'aimerais bien le faire ce challenge... Mais pas sûr encore, j'ai 3 autres réas à faire avant absolument, et Noël approche à grand pas... j'aimerais bien faire un mini break ensuite, bien mérité! :)
Je ferai au mieux en tout cas. Bisous, bonne semaine
Success indeed!! What a clever way to use your dies --making the graduated openings. Really great project. I will have to try making a theater box! Glad you did not throw out the trees. They look awesome.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your creation for our challenge!
