I love today's colors for a Christmas card! Though I ended up using only a tiny amount of the blue (on the string of lights). And this is definitely fussy...I'll give the no fuss a try, but that's usually harder for me than fussy.
After I stamped, colored, over stamped & fussy cut the Cactus Lights image, I kept picturing a little window scene so that's what I tried to recreate. I wanted a rounded window but the die I have was too long. So I used a resizingtrick I came up with a long time ago, but instead of making it bigger, I made the window smaller by cutting just the top part down to the middle of the first set of square panes, turning the die around & moving the bottom up. Then I cut the bottom part only & there you go..a window that is shorter by one set of square panes.
I added 4 die cut shutters (for blinds) from another window die & a piece of dp behind it that is Christmasy but still has a SW look to it. On the white layer, I stamped the greeting at the bottom & used a SW border folder to emboss just under the dp. I used the O from the Joy image as a wreath for the window.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff
