For my April quota of cards for the USEIT2015 challenge I am using SU sets - now I know why this one was so far un-inked, I found it hard to use. I feel meh about the card, but at least it's one towards my Christmas goal, I certainly won't be making another three.
Stamped, embossed and fussy-cut the houses. Used a circle die to inlay the moon into the blue layer, stamped and embossed the sleigh and sentiment. I cut a frame for the front from silver card, freehanding a slope along the bottom. Stuck on the houses, added Stickles and that's it.
I liked the idea of cutting out all the windows, and adding another layer behind...another day, perhaps.

Ah Sabrina, I think these houses are so cute. And I really like how you used them. The checked bg is a really unique idea for a sky, and the Santa sleigh always a cool look agaInst the moon. Love the stickle borders too.

The rest of us would never guess that you had trouble with this card. It looks fantastic. I love how these patterned houses looks. The sparkle border with the curved bottom of your image panes looks great.

I love that Santa sleigh across the moon. I keep forgetting that set has so many nice images in it. The stickles around the border are a really pretty frame. Way, way cuter than just "meh"! TFS
