Here's this week's fabulous stamp

Large Arch Window #621-K

 

I have to say, thinking up a design for this stamp was a true challenge for me.  I had so many ideas yet nothing seemed to come out as I planned or thought it should.  Then I had an image in my mind of an old Masonic Lodge building in the town where I was raised and the windows resembled this stamp enough that I found my inspiration from that memory.  



I stamped the image on acetate with StazOn ink.  When It was dry, I cut out the shape and colored the windows with stickles.  Once the stickles dried, I added Glossy Accents to the side with the Stickles and glued it over the window I created using a Movers and Shapers die.  The window was cut after I'd embossed the "brick" with an ef inked in white ink onto sandy colored cs.  I then layered a panel of grey behind the embossed image and layered it onto a white base.   The window "frame" was made with scrapes and colored with Copics in an attempt to give it a weather-beaten look.  The sentiment is RI #1105-E
