destinations through a window for Frilly and Funkie DT

well here I am better late than never with my Dt make for Frilly and funkie...the theme , chosen by the lovely and very talented jenny ...is destinations through a window...pop here to see all the details and the fab DT makes.

so here is my make :
 

I wanted the vintage feel of a holiday gettaway with sunshine, ancient history and a floral encased window...

I started with a mountboard for the base and then a layer of cardstock, torn, distressed and over stamped. I then added a beauttiul white window...using picket fence crackle paint and edged with vintage photo.


I stamped and masked some pillars , using coffee archival and careful masking, coloured the whole piece in vintage photo and then using a waterbrush removed some highlights...and a bit of flick and spritz for good measure. I added some torn embossed cardstock for added texture and finally some flowers using a fab tutorial from the jennie here .




I used the tattered floral die to cut these and vintage photo distress, make sure you pop across as there are some fab Dt makes.

 

have a fun and inky day!
life is good! x
