Open window
This card was created mainly with the use of die cuts. I began by die cutting the window using Spellbinders windows 2 die from snow white with a hint of silver centura pearl card. I backed the top part of it onto a scrap piece of centura pearl card and stuck thin acetate behind the window panes. I added Stickles on the back of this to represent snow. I cut an aperture in the fawn centura pearl and then glued the window round this aperture.
Starry paper was matted onto white card and onto this I positioned the centura pearl reindeer which had been cut using a tattered lace snowglobe reindeer die so that it would show through the window when the fawn card was placed on top. This fawn card was attached using foam tape.
From centura pearl card I cut two Christmas hellebore and some ivy using tattered lace dies. I coloured the cut pieces using Promarkers. One of the hellebore I matted onto uncoloured centura pearl and cut out. I cut the centre piece from the second and attached it to the first. Using glue gel I arranged and stuck the cut pices onto the lower part of the card.
Finally I added the sentiment to the card.
