Spring shutters......

Yeahhhhhhhhh Spring is here.....and with it fresh breezes and hints of sunshine! Never mind it is snowing here and the only "Spring aspect" I have seen is allergies...lol. To get my mind off the latter....I dug into my Rubber Cafe goodies and grabbed my Scrap Happy Glue and went to work creating a "Spring scene". I knew from the moment I picked the Through the Window set that I would create shutters from one of the window stamps. I decided on my papers...shabby of course.. and than got my ink out and started to play. I simply stamped the window pane stamp onto my paper and than switched out to the shutter window stamp. I carefully lined up the stamp on either side of the window pane and stamped it. Than with a little fussy cutting I had my image. I than softly scored on either side of the window to make the shutters pop out on either side. I love the cute cottage look of it! I wanted a "flower box" as well so I used the third window in the set and stamped it and cut out the box part of it only. I used some foam adhesive on the other side to give it a 3d effect. I added some fun goodies like little flowers and leaves, a mini grapevine wreath, buttons and a banner, and of course some sweet pearl Jellie dots to top my buttons off! For my sentiment I wanted to keep it simple and I thought "You Make Me Smile" from the Fabulous Phrases was perfect. That is that! I have myself a sweet cottage window with the perfect shutters! Rubber Cafe style! Thanks for letting me share! Happy Spring! Cherry
