Hello everyone, I've got a see-through window card to share today. I've been using the new Rainbow Garden die cuts and papers from Paper Rose Studio and they are beautiful!
To create this card, I started by gluing the Rainbow Twirl yellow paper to my card front (this is an A2 sized card), but did not glue down where the arched window would go. I used the Arch Border Frames die to cut from white cardstock, two of the third largest arch. Since this die is all one piece, I couldn't use it to cut out the window frame on my card front. Instead, I placed one of the white arches on my card front where I wanted it to go and traced around the inside with a pencil. Then I used my craft knife to cut out the window shape from the card front. I saved the white piece of cardstock to put on the inside of the card.
I trimmed a piece of acetate to fit behind the white arched piece and attached it with redline tape to the back of the arch. I then taped this to the back of the card front around the window opening. I attached the second arch to the inside of the card front to help tidy up the opening.
I fussy cut the flowers from the Rainbow Garden Florals Cut Aparts, and then used a scrap of white cardstock to make a rectangular window box. I trimmed down the sentiment to be the same width, then glued this to the bottom of the window box and attached the flowers above it. I used foam tape behind the window box and mounted it to the front below the window arch.
On the scrap of white cardstock I had saved from cutting out the window, I used a little blue ink to colour in a sky. I held this up to the window opening on the card front, and then added glue to the back of it before closing the card down on it to make it adhere directly behind the window. Then I attached the butterflies with a little glue so they were partially visible through the front window opening. Don't you just love those rainbow butterflies?!
Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope you're having a great day!
