Todays card has been made for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge, Aperture Card. Ive used a 8"x8" white card and measured a window size in the front and cut it out with my craft knife. On top of this I have placed one of the Dovecrafts "Tis the Season" papers a red snowflake one, and then punched out two strips of another of the same set of papers with my new Martha Stewart border punch and run it through my Xyron to put glue on the back and then ive stuck them not and bottom of my card. The greeting is a Hero Arts one that Ive used quite a lot this year, its been mounted on a piece of white pearlised card and stuck at the bottom on the right.
For the inside I have used the gorgeous Tilda and Edwin Skating stamp, that I have coloured with my copic pens then cut it out completely. To give the appearance of them skating on a pond I have used one of the themes from the Cute Companions Cd by Crafters Companion, and stuck it to the inside leaf and then positioned my skaters so they appear through the window.
To finish of my card I have stuck three pionsettas in the top left hand corner.
Oh this is so lovely! I love your window effect and the skating scene - gorgeous! Lisa x

What an absolutely beautiful card. Handmade, but looks so professional. The window is an excellent idea. I forget to do things, like windows, when I'm in the midst of card-making. Your card inspires me to make a cleaner, more detail oriented card. Thanks so much! -Dera
