I added a die-cut window with a flower box filled with watercoloured, spring flowers. To match the disressed look of the exposed brick, I tried (not very successfully) to add some distressing to the window and box as well. Thankfully, the flowers are pretty and hopefully distract from my feeble attempt. :)

What a pretty and beautiful card Loll, which has brought a smile to my face before I go off and cook tea x.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use the die cut bricks, from Julia, as a stencil and it looks great x. The distress window works perfectly with the distress look and you've done a great job Loll x. Such pretty flowers and one very special card x. Feeble I DON'T think.....x Special, beautiful and happy I DO think x.
Sending hugs and love x.
Beautiful distress die cut and then stenciled brick and love how you distressed the window frame and box. I thought the results turned out beautifully. All the distressing made the pretty die cut and watercolored flowers really pop! BTW...what die did you use for your pretty flowers and leaves:-) TFS my friend.. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteWow Lol I love the brick work and how clever cutting the die for your stencil. An amazing card with those pretty flowers in full bloom on that matching window frame. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBesides the beautiful work you did on the window and flower box what struck me as the perfect touch was the random stenciling of the bricks. How perfect that looks. It just completes this so beautifully. Also love the distressing on the flower box too!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty, Loll. Love the distressed look of the bricks and the window frame. xx
ReplyDelete😊..oh wow Loll this card is so gorgeous, the window scene you created is just fabulous full of those pretty flowers... I've just this week planted up my first two long planter boxes and need to get some brackets to hang them out the front... I love the card, hugs and stay safe Robyn
ReplyDeleteI like your distressing, Loll, and it goes perfectly with the stenciled bricks! The arched window and box full of gorgeous flowers take center stage though. A beautiful card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI think this is gorgeous Loll and love the window and window box filled with all the prettily coloured flowers, and the stencil you made from the die is just perfect for a background. x
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Loll, I think the brick and distressed look is perfect! and those precious flowers are just that!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card! Love the partial brick background and the beautiful flowers in the window box. I think you definitely managed to give the window frame and window box a distressed look. It's perfect!

Gorgeous, Loll! Love the whole distressed look. I think your distressed window looked great. Sweet gift... I went to the Greetery to check out that distressed brick die and it’s sold out.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Loll. I love the distressed look.
ReplyDeleteLovely scene, Loll! The distressing looks great to me!
ReplyDeleteLove your distressed window box, Loll! I also love how you added texture with the bricks and those sweet little blooms and leaves! Another fabulous creation!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect place to use your own brick stencil. I like the sentiment stamped on the window box and the flowers are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Loll ... the contrast between the cool, graphic brick and the soft tumble of blooms is fabulous! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThe entire result of this is simply beautiful, Loll! The arched window is perfect against the hint of brick which you placed just perfectly. Pretty flowers. I do love a window box!

Such a beautiful card, I love your floral window. The shadows look pretty good, I don't know why you think something went wrong. This is the artist's vision and no one discusses the vision :-)

What a beautiful card, Loll! The pretty spring flowers filled with the box put me a smile on my face. You did a great job of giving a distress look to the flower box and the window to match the exposed brick. The card totally has a sense of unity. Thank you for reminding me of making a stencil using a die!
