I made this for Impression Obsession's challenge "Inspired by a Quote'! On a piece of white cs, I used my pan pastels to create an evening sky after masking off a circle for the sun. I took the mask off afterwards and shaded it a little as well. I cut two trees from the Impression Obsession Fir Trees Die and attached it behind the IO lg window. I also put a piece of acetate between and, with a white gel pen, put snowflakes on the acetate. I took 2 dp panels and fan folded them about 5 times. Then, I took kabob stick, filed it down and stuck it in the curtain holes I made with my big bite. I tried using ribbon at first to make my tiebacks, but couldn't make those tiny bows!!!!! So, I took my Impression Obsession small flower dies and cut two to cover my failed ribbon attempts! Hee hee.

When I saw the title of your card, I just had to look at the card for a moment and I could see why your fingers were killing you!
But it was oh so worth the pain, because the card turned out besutifully! I love the scene you created and the curtains frame it so nicely! Great Job! Now rest your fingers for a day or two.

TY so much!!!! Both of you!! As to my fingers, Pat...I would've TOTALLY rested them but then I got these two compliments so you know I'm right back down in the craft room hoping to cook up more things after these pats on the back!! It's worth every bit! Besides...that's what Ibuprofen is for! LOL
