Welcome
This card was made for a New Zealand swap group I am in - and the theme for the month was Windows. I used a die cut for mine, but others have been very innovative as to how they used the theme - I don't think anyone used the Windows computer operating system for inspiration!
The window was die cut using a S/B Die D-lite Windows 2 from a pale tan cardsatock.
I then backed the die with kraft paper at the top, a snippet of blue card and I fussy cut the rose from some paper from the MME 6x6 pad In Bloom
The background paper and the sentiment (stamped/sponged with Rhubarb Stalk ink) both came as a freebie from a magazine.
The card was finished with some bling in opposing corners.
