Nearly OSW Toyshop Window #4


For all the cards in this set that I'm calling "Toyshop Window", I used something from at least 1 of the 3 pages of the 3-page Toyshop Window coordinating set from the Hunkydory Christmas Classics Luxury Card Collection.  I often added stuff from my stash - including tags from the Hunkydory Essential Book of Christmas Sentiments 2016.  This card actually has quite a bit of sparkle on it - which doesn't show well in the pictures.

CARD FRONT:
  • Background - This one is a little hard to see.  The background is created using two strips of card stock from the kit.  Then I added Wink of Stella to the card itself in between the strips & on the patterned card stock.  It wasn't trying well on the glossy card stock, so I added some Kaleidoscope embossing powder & heat embossed it.
  • Focal - The dog is a die cut from the kit
  • Sentiment - from the Essential book - matted on two layers of paper - with foam tape between them.  

INSIDE:
  • Frame - cut from the leftover die cut sheet.  I then put Wink of Stella all around the outside of the frame for a sparkly background (leaving the space inside the frame for my message when I add it.
  • Sentiment - from Essential book.  Mat was cut from the blue with a die (Paper Artist "6 Layered Labels & 2 Swirls" - HOTP) cut & matted on gold paper using a narrow margin.
