Window box topper

Uploaded the cutting files to Design Space and resized down to fit 5 x 7 Cardstock. Set everything except the cycle to cut out on 120gsm plain card and loaded up the mats.

After these had cut I unloaded the mats and coloured in the flowers, leaves, ivy and window box adding detail the the window box to make it look like a wooden one.

While these were drying I cut a piece of acetate and added this to the back of the window.

I then decided to cut pattern paper to go at the back of the window to look like wallpaper instead of colouring it in (lazy and with hindsight I could have cut this out on a separate mat!!!) I glued the acetate to the window and then the backing paper to the back of that.

I then cut a piece of brick wall backing paper to fit the card leaving a small border and attached this to the card.

I then positioned the window quite high up the card to allow for the cycle to rest on the window box later.

I attached a thin strip of dst to the back of the coloured window box and removed the backing and turned it face down and attached the leaves to that before reattaching the backing.

Turned the window box face up and used glue to attach the flowers to the tops of the leaves. I then attached this to the window using foam pads.

I then glued the strips of Ivy to the top of the window and used a single leaf to hide the tops of the stems.

I have not attached the bike at the moment as I am undecided whether to use that or use maybe a bush or something else, there are so many possibilities!

It was really simple to make and put together.
