The window is going to be a focal point on a card that I have in mind. This is what happened with the egg shells from last week. I made two windows using this technique and I love how they both turned out. You can scroll down a couple of entries and see the card I did using the smaller window. This technique would be beautiful if you have any kind of scroll work die or use any dies to make some kind of frame. I have also been working on a little Magnolia image. I stamped this one and then scanned it into my computer and printed onto my water color paper. I wanted to change the size to fit this oval to work with a card I have in mind. She doesn't show up very well in my picture, but I have only just begun to color her in. I'm hoping she turns out well.
Well I've gotten a little long winded but I'm going to hush now and go check out some of the blogs this morning and see what you guys have been into this week. Have a wonderful WOYWW Wednesday!

Real egg shells what an unusual idea. Thanks for stopping by BJ#8
Wow I was waiting to see what this eggshell thing would look like. I like it. It's gorgeous. Makes me think twice when I am eating my boiled eggs in the morning. hee hee

Love this card concept! Yes--don't know why I'm suddenly so addicted to my art journal! It's a Smash book, and I bought it almost a year ago, but just now I'm filling it up. It's also a great place to try out ideas and concepts...so fun. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #13
You window looks so good...have to start saving my shells!
Good idea about stamping and then putting thru the machine and then printing on the watercolour paper.
Can't wait to see how it turns out...Hopefully you will post the finished card, once completed!!!
Hi Glenda I so need that window Spellbinder die! Loving what you are making and don't forget to show it finished.
Thanks for the visit, hugs Erika.
Room 101 this week!
I can't wait to see this new window1 I went down a few posts to see what you did last week, and the stained glass window looks amazing!!!
Your stamp will look beautiful when you are finished!!

What fun things on your desk Glenda, love the image and your window is looking beautiful! Your desk is nice and tidy as well, no chaos that is for sure. Have a wonderful day, my friend!
Love how the eggshell mosaic turned out, it looks great on the smaller card too. Stamping an scanning is a great idea, but I take it you don't have an inkjet printer otherwise the print would run? Basic knitting is very easy, still time to learn!! I started off making dishcloths from cotton. I learnt patterns and fixing mistakes, plus they're very useful too.

Your work desk is always so inspirational. If you saw mine, you might faint!
I have cards to share. I just need to find the time to get them posted. I need about 6 more hours in my day!!
Have a great Wednesday--I'll be back soon!!
Awesome looking card in the making! Did you get the die from Joan's? I have been thinking about buying one since seeing them on Selma's blog but...procrastination! I don't know how much I would use it. I have the egg shells saved but haven't done anything with them yet. Soon. Hope you have a great week. Vickie #91

Hi Glenda
I was able to zoom right into your picture - must say that the window is stunning and will look fabulous on your card. Is it a die or did you purchase it. Windows on cards add a lovely dimension to your projects.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for popping over to my desk today. Happy WOYWW

Hi Glenda,
Love the window with the eggshells, very different. Also thanks for sharing the idea of scanning a stamped image then resizing, that would be very cool for lots of things.
Thanks for your earlier visit.
Cheers, Elaine #32
Hi Glenda! Your cards are gorgeous!! Just spent tons of time reading about the eggshell technique and then went to the tutorial that you linked. It looks amazing!! I think I have everything needed, so I can't wait to try it!! Thank you!!

Hi Glenda,
Those eggshells really turned into something pretty! How cool.
I didn't link up this week as I wouldn't be able to visit all the desks that I should. But I did want to pop in to see what you've been up to.
Hugs,
Kay
Great idea with the window! Olena
What a great idea to use the egg shells like this - very effective. Mind you - one of our hens laid an egg without any shell the other day - it was just surrounded by a membrane - very weird!

I always love to see what projects you are working on!
I have been wanting to try that technique.. Looks gorgeous here. Your desk is so neat. Mine is in utter chaos right now. Great picture.
Not longwinded at all Glendale! The eggshell technique looks fabulous. I've treated myself to the small window and sill die this month, so will be trying to emulate your gorgeous works.
