Like last week's, this sketch was enormous fun to work with. I had several sets pulled out for various ideas, but this is the one I ran with in the end.
A2 base. Papers are Sizzix Little Sizzles, and I just edged them with a black marker. The picket fence was a RAK, but I think it's a Sizzix die. I stuck two together, trimmed them to the size of the card and embossed with white EP, and then popped them up on very thin foam tape. Window Dressing stamped on watercolour paper with Versafine black and coloured with regular watercolours. I added Liquid Pearls to the centre flower and the left vase. It's popped up on thicker foam tape. A few punched butterflies finished it off. I think I should add a touch of Stickles to them.

How pretty! Such fresh colors and I love that image - the picket fence is a really nice touch and adds so much. The black outlining gives a lot of definition. I like the tiny butterflies too - all in all , it really puts me in the mood for a lovely spring day, the kind where you can leave the windows wide open!!

Sabrina, your card is SO SO charming! Love the trellised bg with the 3-D butterflies to play up you beautifully colored window image. The picket fence is PERFECT for the long panel.
