Wedding window

Last week Rainbow Lady's challenge 45 was 'windows' - I know this is late, but I still wanted to join in this one.

The challenge on Our Creative Corner this week is 'Inspiration challenge' - to use a favourite embellishment - well, I have to admit that I wouldn't exactly normally call alcohol inks embellishments, but I suppose they are, so I think it might fit this challenge.

I started off with a cream linen card and two arch window frames. I carefully cut out the window shape from the front of the card (using the Fiskars craft knife that you hold like a pen - can't remember what it's called, but it's super, because I used to shy away from using a craft knife and now I love using this). Anyway, back to this card. I stuck one of the arched window frames on to the front of the card. I then used alcohol inks - red pepper, denim and butterscotch, with a tiny hint of oregano, to ink a piece of acetate. I cut round this and stuck to the other arched frame and then put the two together, so that you can see through the inked acetate into the inside of the card, but there is a window frame both sides of the front of the card. I added the wedding couple die cut.

It was difficult to get a picture. This was taken with flash:


This one was taken without flash (although it's not such a clear picture I think it shows the inking better):

And this is the inside of the card:
