                                             Window Card

Inspiration for this card was from my friend Alejandra Gomez, She did a make and take at a Vendor show. Hers was made with S.U.
I altered it a big and cut the banner out.

In the CTMH Catalog, the example on page 33 shows to cut a layer and place it behind
the window. But in my card, I chose to place the piece I selected on the front. The accent color SWEET LEAF shows through from
underneath.

All material was cut using the Art Philosophy Cartridge.
Cutting Sizes
CARD LAYER:  3/4"
BASE LAYER: 1"
BASE LAYER: 1-1/2"
BASE LAYER: Shift 3/4"
Small flowers 1/2"
My Acrylix Stamp sets: D1476 Card Chatter-Sympathy
                             D1325 Argyle Background
