I am still obsessed with window cards and I am happy to share one with you today.
While I was determined to make a Christmas card with a window, I thought I'd like to keep most other things simple. The window should be the star of the card! I saw the love snowflakes from the muse at Muse challenge, then I was inspired to stamp snowflakes on my window card. In particular, I knew I was going to use a couple of snowflake stamps. The Muse used a couple of colors for the snowflakes but I opted to use one color, again I want to create this background of snowflakes for the stunning window.
Since the snowflakes are in light gray (Whisper), I'd love to create something bold for the window:
And as if the big sentiment isn't enough to draw your attention, I've added washi tape on both the top and bottom of it, with a bigger red circle as a mat. This picture shows the interior better:
I can't tell you how happy I am with the results of this experiment. I really like to turn this postal-friendly flat card so interesting for the recipient!
My card is also entering the following challenges:

Your window is the star of the card (although those snowflakes are giving it a run for its money - I love them and will have to find them!) Love the pop of red. Thanks for joining us at Muse!
