For this card, I decided to cut out the circle element, and here I added a piece of light blue vellum behind the window to lighten things up. I colored in the sweet bird house image with Copic and Stampin' Write markers and popped up the tiny wings of the nesting birds. For a little festive touch, I used glitter and liquid applique on the snow -- brr! I'm glad it's warm in this merry little house.
