Windows to the World by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing two Windows to the World cards made with Art Impressions images.

M3175 – Lighthouse Window

M3167 – Swans Window

4749 – Window Deco Die

4619 – Window Die

This is the front of the card.  You're looking through the window to the beautiful lighthouse outside.

Aren't the curtains adorable?

On the inside of the card you see the lighthouse better.

In this shot you can see the front window and the inside view. The Windows to the World are such great sets!

You can choose just about any scene that you want to see out your window.

For this card I chose the Swan scene.

Are you sensing that I like to be around water?  I actually far prefer a pond or lake to the ocean.

Isn't this such a pretty image?

Here's the inside.

Looking at LOVE BIRDS through the window...by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

As you know Art Impressions just had a blog hop to announce their wonderful new releases at Hobby Lobby.  Last time I used the AICS31 - Pamper Yourself Clear Stamps. 

This time I'm using the AICS27 - Love Birds Clear Stamps.

The inside of the house (the front of the card) also used the 

4749 – Window Deco Die

and

 4619 – Window Die

 

Here's the inside of the card.
