Find out how to bring a homely glow to a Kinkade window and leave a comment over there if you'd like to be in with a chance of winning the Foxglove Cottage stamp (still my favourite Kinkade stamp, I think!)

This is wonderful Joanne, I love the B&W with the "lit" windows. I had a look at your tutorial and it's fab - makes even a rubbish colourer-innerer like me think they could do something half decent!
