As soon as I heard what this challenge was I had the idea of creating a shop window. It has been a bit of a labour of love as I was originally using a deep picture frame but the size was restricting what I wanted to do. That said, I'm glad I stuck with it and I'm really pleased with the end result.

The main card has been made using a piece of Centura pearl card which was cut and shaped. The brick wall was created using the stencil and two layers of paint, this was stippled rather than using the Geli plate as I wanted fairly clean lines around the edge. 

The window frames were created using black card and the corner window frame was made using a wooden coffee stirrer coloured with a black Promarker.

The figures were stamped on theuva card and coloured with Promarker pens and the dresses printed on a variety of patterned papers. The inside of the shop was stamped on theuva card and finally the shop was given its name and the SALE tags. 

Thanks for taking the time to look, I hope you like it and any feedback would be much appreciated. 

Hope to see you again soon.
