Looking out

    This is a multi layered card. I began by attaching paper printed using the My Craft Studio CD ROM volume 9 of the Papercraft library to cream card. The digi image coloured using Promarkers is from The Paper Nest Dolls and is called 'Ellie with kittens' was then attached to this using foam pads. Thicker foam pads were then used to attach the window which was cut using Tattered Lace's flectere window die. Using dark brown card I cut a shape to form a window box on which I stuck a die cut sentiment. Finally I added pieces of die cut holly.

    I matted and layered papers from Papermania and light purple card onto white card then added the greeting cut from gold mirri using Tattered Lace's season's greetings washing line die.

   The die image called 'cookies for Santa' is from The Paper Shelter. I coloured most of it using Promarkers, but on the garlands I used a purple glitter gel pen. I added Glossy Accents to the ornaments on the tree and then cut it out leaving a narrow edge of white so that it would stand out from the background.

    The digi image I have used here is from The Paper Shelter and is called Snow Angle. After colouring it using Promarkers I matted and layered it onto cyan card and white card. The sentiment was cut from white card using a Tattered Lace die. To finish the card I added loose silver glitter to the snow and the sentiment, although it does not show up well in the photo.

U is for up in the air

    I cut a frame from black card for a truncated image from Hunkydory's Little Book of Twilight Kingdom - a magical Christmas and matted it onto faux glitter card and black card. Using a Hunkydory die I cut three trees from black card and positioned them on the right of the card adding Liquid Pearl for snow fall. The sentiment was also cut using a Hunkydory die. Finally I added two card candy to two of the corners.
