This is for F4A144 to use glitter and also for QFTD140 to honor queen Sue aka Mrs Noofy. Congratulations, Sue! I had a great time going through your wonderful gallery. I was inspired by your Vellum Window found here: F4A117 Vellum window by Mrs Noofy at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the window and floral theme with the brick background but changed the color combination to green and red and the theme to Christmas and made my window open and see through. Don't look too closely at my brick because it is crooked. I don't belive I've ever seen a crooked brick wall. LOL! I didn't notice it until I got the card finished and ready to take the picture. Too late! Too much work!!!
If you would like to check out how I did this card you can see a step by step see thru open window tutorial showing it finished inside and out. http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kitti...corations.html I used a different window for the tutorial but the steps are the same.

This is totally stunning! A creative masterpiece, as all your works are! I don't think the brick wall is crooked..it's just that too much turkey can distort one's vision slightly! That's my story and I am sticking to it! LOL I just love those flowers and that whole window flourish. I am flattered and honoured that you made a card for me. Thank you so much.

Maybe your brick mason had too much Thanksgiving celebration! Despite the crooked brick, your card is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I may have to give this a try.
