A sample for this week's WTUI challenge ~ you can find it HERE.
I used the Mini Blinds tutorial, adjusting the size slightly to suit my window die. Originally I was going to leave the "panes" in the window, and had carefully cut the top, inserted the blind and stuck the bit of window back - but then when it came to finding something to put outside the window, too much of the mouse detail was obscured, so I cut it out and filed the edges smooth. But now I know it is possible to use this technique perfectly with a proper window die, I'll be doing it again when I'm less stressed.
I added a Spellbinders banner and sentiment above the valance, and a little cat popped up on the front. I know, I know the sense of scale is all wrong between the cat and mouse, but it was the best I could do in a busy week ;-).
Have fun with the challenge, and I wish you all a peaceful Christmas season wherever you may be.

WOW, Sabrina. I can't imagine the time it took in planning and executing this clever card with the Roman shade. Love how the sentiment banner makes a valance or cornice board.

Love your mini blinds and the little 'cat & mouse' . The mouse feels so secure outside the window but I feel that cat is plotting to jump at any minute.
