Peek A Boo Sketch

Hello!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at Power Poppy, Peek A Boo SketchStamping Sensations, Flower Power, ScrapyLand, Anything Goes! and Simon Says Wednesday, Touchy Feely.

 
 
 
I used the Short Stack stamp set from Power Poppy.  Images colored with Copic Markers and hi-lighted with a Wink Of Stella Clear Pen.  I stamped the whole image on the right and colored the entire thing....silly...as you can only see a portion of it.  Windows were created with Spellbinders Classic Circle dies.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for texture.

 
A few Pink Sequins and some pretty Pink Gingham Ribbon for accents.  I used a bit of Fun Foam as a backing for my cut out panel, it gives the card a bit more firmness and structure.
 

 This was my first attempt.....yikes! 

 
This may not be much of a peek but more of a I see you!  lol  Let's just say it warmed me up for the card above.  I used the Short Stacks stamp set from Power Poppy.  Images colored with Copic Markers.  Added a little bit of Stickles to my sweet little bird and Corner Tab Punches for accents.

 
The 2 larger 'windows' were die cut using Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles.  The smaller one was hand cut.  I'll probably go back and frame the windows to jazz it up a bit. 
 
They really are fun to make, give it a try!
 
Thanks for coming by!
 
Enjoy~~

  4. You know that I like the first one, but I would not discount the first attempt at all. What I really like is that you can lift the top and peek at the inside. Good luck, I think this is a winner.

  5. Super cute - and that goes for both cards. I think that parakeet peeking out of the window is darling and you should NOT throw it out. And I LOVE the Swiss dots with the gingham ribbon on the other one. Really cute with the little flowers peeking out of the circle window at the bottom. I like them both!!!

  9. Both are lovely. Totally adore the swiss dots and the springy feel to your sketch. Your first attempt is lovely and a warmer feel to it. Fun idea with the squares. Thanks for playing in our Power and Spark challenge this month.
