Window Dressing-A Clear Challenge

A Timeless Tuesday challenge with clear card stock. Have you joined the challenge? Anyone can, even if you do not have any Flourishes stamps. I am not eligible to win but you Can.

I found the challenge to be getting the clear card stock to show in a picture.....maybe I will have to put smudge prints on my "window". The ladybug is stamped on the clear card stock and colored with Copic on the back side of image.

I have to say that I used Copic markers on the bowl, fruit and vegetables. I believe that if I can do a good job (I think I did) coloring, then anyone can learn to use them.
The bowl, I stamped with Ballet Blue Palette ink on white card stock, then I took Copic B41, the brush end and ran it along the curved edge to get the darker blue. The top of the bowl is colored with R81 and the brush tip of a blender pen to make the "spots". Sorry but I did not keep up with all the shades of copic I used when coloring the fruit and veggies. It comes out great though doesn't it?
Once cut out, I placed the bowl on a table with pop dots. The window frame is popped up with dimensional strips although none of it shows well in this picture.

The window frame is cut with the square Spellbinders, What Did We Ever Do Without Spellbinders??? The sentiment is cut with the ribbon tag trio then threaded with silk ribbon. I Love the rich draping effect and feel of silk, don't you?

Stamps: Mixed Greeting
Ink: Copic and Palette
paper: Two Scoops

It is not too late to enter this weeks challenge.
