Window card

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:
Avenue 613 - Anything Goes
