Ai Squared Challenge

 

Hello Ai fans!

It's time for a new Challenge on the Art Impressions blog. Just make a card using squares and add it to the challenge post.  Be sure to enter for the chance to win free stamps.  There are four new Window To The World stamps that are being released with the New Shadowbox Window Die. I used the New Mailbox Window Accessory Stamp and Die Set along with the New Shadowbox Window Die.  The Shadowbox Die works with the existing Windows To The World line of stamps.
I started by stamping the images onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth card stock with Gina K Black Amalgam ink and colored them with Copic markers.  The colors I used will be listed at the end of this post.  I then cut out the mailbox with the matching die that came in the set. I then attached it to the front of the image with foam tape. I then cut out the square portion of the stamp.  I then attached it to the base that I die cut from the Shadowbox Die.
I created a 41/4" x 41/4" card from dark brown paper and attached a smaller layer of Moda Scraps decorative paper.  I traced the square from the Shadowbox Die onto the card front.
You can cut the square from the card front using your die cut machine.  It's a simple shape, so I cut it out using my craft knife.  I did this because my die cutting plates would leave marks on the card front.
I used the dies from the Shadowbox die set to cut a frame and window sill from Tim Holtz Woodgrain paper.
I attached the window frame to the square cut out on the card. I attached the window sill below it with foam tape.
I folded the piece that the image is attached to as shown in the picture below. I then added the right hand side to the window opening. 
To finish the card, I attached the left piece of the main image to the left side of the window opening.
The image folds flat and can be popped up once the card is opened

I saw those windows to the world dies the other day. They're pretty neat. The window on the card frames your colored image beautifully.
