Kinkade Arch Window

After making all kinds of cute and pretty things, it was time for me to go in the opposite direction with a masculine card. This arch window card has a Thomas Kinkade scene stamped on the inside so it really does look like you are looking out a window. I used the A2 Arch Window die cut in a chocolate brown cardstock color.

I brayered some brown ink onto the stamp to get the best impression and then stamped it on some ivory cardstock. Look at all those fine details like the man fishing and the smoke coming out of the chimneys. This image works beautifully with these window cards from Creative Cuts and More. Once I was sure the ink was dry, I used a sponge to add a little Old Paper distress ink to age up the image a bit.

I stamped the sentiment on ivory cardstock and punched it out, then layered it on another punched out piece of artichoke cardstock. I added some aged copper brads to the sides and then adhered it to the top of the arch window with some dimensionals. The last thing I did was I wrapped some hemp twine around the side of the card.

If you've been following my blog, you might have seen this type of arch window card before. I love these die cuts! This is my favorite type of card to make. Wanna take some bets on how many more cards you'll see with this arch window die cut here on my blog by the end of the year? LOL
