Here is a little inspiration to get you started.
I have used a another very cute little image by Renee Mullen with Plum Purdy Designs.Her designs are so easy and fun to work with. I have to tell you that this card was a true challenge for me as I normally use 3 or 4 papers and this time I only used 2. I also painted my image and then wanted it to look somewhat like a window so I cut it into 9 little pieces and glued it to some blue card stock. Okay now this was a sick feeling after I had just spent a good bit painting it. Have you ever done this before? It was my first time and my tummy turned as I did the cutting. LOL........I also used my sanding pad and sanded the edges after I used distressed ink on them. I have also use a single little bird stamp by Renee and added it to the snowflakes in the right hand upper corner. I have added pearls to the snowman/women's apron and added glitter for the sparkle. I have use a beautiful satin white ribbon and added silver domes down the middle of it. I have sewn the card and finally added some Crystal Lacquer to the hat, scarf, birdhouse and birds for a bit of gloss.
Can you see the faint silhouette of the Santa's sleigh and reindeer just above the left corner of the image window?
Okay I am rambling. SORRY!..... I will just let you look now..
Thanks for stopping by to see my little work's of art.
Have a WONDERFUL day,
hugs, janny.

Oh what a fantastic idea to do that with your stamped image. Beautiful card, look forward to this challenge.
Stunning Janny! I love these Plum Purdy snowmen and your colouring of it is just fantastic. You are very brave to cut up your image but it was worth it! It looks stunning. I need to find time to try this colour combo! Hugs Judy xx

This card is fabulous Janny! What a cool idea to cut the image like that - I don't think I could do it! I love that little blue birdie tucked up in the corner too! Gorgeous as always!

Yes I have done this technique before but it was when you stamped a solid image and wha la you were done. I would have a real hard time now that it takes so long to color an image in. ha ha! You did a super duper job with this!!!!!! That snowman is totally ADORABLE!!!!! The bird in the corner is such a cute touch!! Love it girl!
Hugs, Dena
Gorgeous! I love the soft colors :)
Cheers!

Great job Janny! I always love your designs. I still have the one I won several months back. I often look at it for inspiration. And even though it's only 2 papers this time, the design didn't suffer! Great stuff! TFS
This turned out wonderfully, but I don't think I am skilled enough in the art of repositioning to try this for myself. It must have been frightening slicing into such a cute lil snowman!! The end result is fantastic, as if I am looking out a Victorian window, gorgeous!! And I am loving that snowflake with a little birdie perched on it, too cute!!
I sent you an email yesterday, but I might not have done enough to say HEY HEY this is NOT spam, lol.
Take Care,
Stephanne
OH...Janny, this is absolutely ADORABLE!!!
You worked to perfection.

Hugs, mumur
