Always Take the Scenic Route

It's a new challenge at Time Out Challenge #320 and we have a beautiful photo from teammate Katherine of architect Antoni Gaudí's Basilica Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. I decided to take the idea of bright colors seen through a window. Stop by all of the team's blogs to read how they made their cards as well as that of our Guest Designer Jane Taylor of Purplejet!

Here's what I used to make my card:

• Spellfbinders Vista View Window dies
• Lawn Fawn woodgrain card stock
• La La Land Summer Vacation Paper Pack
• Tim Holtz Idea-ology sentiment strips

I die cut three windows to stack for dimension. I skipped the acetate this time because it is so hard to photograph! I traced the window perimeter on the scene I chose, then fussy cut it to fit behind the panes. The view has many of the same colors as the photo but is tropical instead of stained glass.

I wanted to add texture to the "walls" surrounding the indoor windows, so I chose the woodgrain card stock. Then I chose a sentiment and liked this one with "scenic" in it!

Our wonderful sponsor is Top Flight Stamps, generously offering a $25 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We anticipate a beautifully colorful gallery this round and can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for stopping by!
