Embossing and texture.

Hi everyone, I hope you are experiencing lovely bank holiday weather? It's certainly warm here with lots of sun but a quite a bit of cloud. I saw the challenge this month over at Stamping Sensations is to create  a card with any type of embossing and texture. Kylie had a lovely card on her blog for the ATSM challenge and I wanted to case it so come and see how I interpreted it:


I used a brick effect ef , tore the edges and inked with DI Pumice stone. The window is a MB die and I stamped a scene, watercoloured it and put it behind . I used a scrap of pattered paper to create a roman blind adding a ribbon and paper bead for the pull.  I scored a piece of card for the window box and popped it up with pinflair and added some creata flower dies coloured with PM's. I've added a close up below. The sentiment is a WOW one added as a tab.
                                   I'm also linking this to the challenge over at Get Creative-flowers


Thanks for taking the time to visit and hopefully leaving me a comment, I love to read them:)
Enjoy the weekend!

    This is stunning, Val. I like how you've torn around the edges and made the blind in the window. The flowers in the windowbox look great too.
