For my blog hop creation I have used the new Window Play Inside. I totally puffy heart this stamp set!!
I had so much fun masking and paper piecing these images (Please excuse the fact that my lamp is "up in the air" LOL) The furniture is paper pieced using DCWV, Linen Closet and shading and depth were created using my Copic Markers. The rug is actually a circle stamp that I stretched out into an oval shape. I kept the embellishments fairly simple with a strip of Twill that I inked, a button and a dangling key charm.

I have recently broken my index finger on my right hand in a domestic dusting accident. ROTFL!! Needless to say it has been difficult to color lately, but it turns out that cutting is even MORE difficult....so paper piecing may not have been the best idea but I LOVE the way it turned out!! :)

Love your card, Wendy! What a great design!
Ouch, sorry to hear you broke your finger! That would definitely make colouring and cutting difficult :( Hope it heals quickly!
Haha, I didn't even notice the lamp was up in the air until I read what you wrote. What I did notice was the lamp coloring itself and the "light" coming from it! Love it! Never thought a lamp could look so good on a card!
The couch is really pretty with the paper piecing. Even though you had to do it with injuries, you still did an excellent job! I'd want that in my house!
Love that you puffy heart this set! LOL so cute! Great layout with lots of fun details! Now go rest your finger and tell your hubby...no more house cleaning for you! LOL
Hugs
Karen
PS - gotta {heart} that floating lamp, it's the best!
I love it...floating lamp and all! The colors are great and the key dangling from the button like a keyhole is genious!!!
First off, ouch!!! Yes, paper piecing must have been difficult, but this image was made for it :>) Great color choices and you found the perfect embellie :>)
Wow this is a really pretty card!! Wonderful job on your paper piecing!! thanks for sharing!!
Oh! I love the scene you have created and the key charm! I am going to have to remember that!
This is so pretty and I love the soft blues. hehehehe @ 'domestic dusting accident' comment. So sorry to hear about your finger. I cut mine badly washing dishes and I know exactly how you feel. Holding Copics and scissors was like a contortionist act lol. Feel better soon!
Diana
That is a beautiful card Wendy!
Hugs Kristel
One of these days I'll get brave enough to try paper piecing! Love this card floating lamp and all! Hope your finger heals soon! Ouch!
Wonderful colors and design.
Hi Wendy, a broken finger in a dusting accident?! I'm trying to figure out how exactly you managed to do that LOL!! Poor you, that must be a nuisance, and how long will it take to heal?? Anyway, you did manage to make a wonderful care. Love that paper piecing. And I love those stamps. I'm off hopping now. Hugs, FRea
great paper pieceing! and terrific card :)
Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the card!
I'm wishing I had thought about using a key charm! So cute!!! Love all the paper piecing and your adorable scene! I hope your finger heals quickly! That's gotta be painful:(
Beautiful card. Very soft and sophisticated.
I love how you paper pieced the couch, pillows and rug. Too cute.
Wendy, your card is wonderful! TFS!
Oh Wendy. I just love this card. So pretty and I love how you have accented it. Simply elegant. Hugs, Lisa G
Wendy, you did a super job on this card! Very nice!!
Wendy - your card is too cute. I just love it.
My eye was caught by the amazing lamp - & not because it was levitating (I didn't see that until I read it). The way that button picks up the shape of the cushion & the shading of the table drawer is masterful & I love that elongated rug. The shading of the paper piecing is masterful & to think you've done this with a broken finger........ Just take care of yourself.

A really great card, Wendy! I love YNS stamps - must invest!
I'm another that didn't notice the floating lamp until it was mentioned - I was too busy admiring its 'glow'! And you made this with a broken finger?! Wow - I am SUPER impressed. No more dusting for you, Missy! ;)
Great idea to embellish your card with a key. Perfect! Thanks for the blog hop!
I love the soft neutral tones :) The floating lamp is a cute touch!
Would love to hear more about your dusting accident...I sprained my second toe (the one next to your big toe) last week vacuuming. Don't ask! LOL! I just taped it to my third, but I can't imagine how you made such a gorgeous card w/o the use of your rt finger!! Amazing!
What a great card. Sorry to hear about your finger. Hope it lets you get back to crafting at your finest soon.
vERY cute card- didn't even notice the 'floating' lamp either! That stinks that you broke your finger! That's why I don't dust- just to dangerous!!! ;)

Hmmm first, don't dust anymore lol let Brooke or Nathan do it. They know how to work those dusters better than we do!!! Now I must say I love that levitating lamp hahahahaa
