Cut a piece of Deluxe flower Shaping Paper 10” x 7”, score at 5 “ along the long side and fold to create a base card of 5” x 7”.  Cut a piece of pattern paper with the window frame 4 7/8” x 6 7/8” and adhere to the front of the card.  Add Ultrafine Crystal Glitter to the paper using Dries Clear Glue.

Cut another piece of pattern paper with the window frame 4 7/8” x 6 7/8” and adhere to the centre of this panel.  Die cut the window panes out using the dies from the Window Frame Die. Adhere the front panel to the base card front using strong double sided tape on each end 1/2” lining up the front image with the back image. This will create a shadow box effect.

Adhere the holly leaves on the bottom left and top right of the window frame and add the fruit images as shown. Adhere the birds with the flowers and leaves to the top right and bottom left of the window frame over the holly leaves with pop dots.
