It's been a while since I've created one of those "stain your fingers" mixed media cards, so I pulled out my paints, inks, and stains and made a royal mess making this spring window card.
I created my weathered background using the same technique I shared in THIS POST and the following supplies:
- Cardboard
- Martha Stewart Scoring Board (scored every 1/2 inch)
- Elemer's Glue
- Hickory Smoke Distress Paint (Ranger)
- Blueprint Sketch Distress Paint - Ranger (rubbed over the paint when dry)
- Picket Fence Distress Stain - Ranger (rubbed over portions of the wall)
- Sandpaper
To create my flowers I:
- stamped the Oakberry Lance Blossoms (Heartfelt Creations) in Perfect Plum Ink (Stampin' Up) on purple card stock
- inked their centers with Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide (Ranger) and their outer petals in perfect plum
- die cut my flowers using Oakberry Lane Blossoms Dies (Heartfelt Creations)
- inked the reverse side of my flowers in perfect plum
- using my Craft Foam Mat (Paper Blossoms) and a stylus I cupped three flowers and layered them together
- Albums Tags and Accents die (Heartfelt Creations)
- Be Encouraged Stamp Set (Sweet n Sassy)
- Romantic Vines Dies (Spellbinders)
- Mowed Lawn / Pine Needles Distress Ink (Ranger)
- Conservatory Window Die (Sizzix)
- Old Dictionary Page

Esther, your card is beautiful, and I love the 'wood' background! (I think you are the master of faux wood!) The window done in dictionary page and the sky peeking through is lovely, and the gorgeous flowers are amazing! Your sentiment really speaks to me--God hears all of our concerns, and we can ALWAYS trust in Him! What a fabulous card, and I'm so happy you shared it with us at Frilly and Funkie! Hugs!
Gorgeous, and the colors are beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us at Krafty Chicks.
