[editing to add: my window is a rubber stamp from B Line Designs. Not a die cut.]
The 'die' market sure has come a long way since I've been playing with paper...our challenge this week for the IC is Spellbinders with a Pinterest Board by Cindy Hill. It is amazing what is available to fancy up a card...I decided to 'home fancy' thisWindow Spellbinder die.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas with the color from this week's Color Challenge CC609, so I am combining gorgeous Christmas colors with a French window door that was fussy cut twice. Once from the original CS and once from the packaging acetate (windows). I've left the windows slightly ajar so dimension.
The Stampers Anonymous tree was inked with the Nick Bantock greens and a garland of glitter 'Stickles' fussy~uped the Christmas tree. A beautiful golden star was placed at the top of the tree.
The wallpaper is an unknown red damask and the dp behind the tree is unknown as well. Their luscious just the same, don't you think?
I added several bits of extras to fussy up my mostly non die cut creation. The vintage German scrap was embossed in TH DI 'Soot Black' ep to turn it black, the fussy seam binding was colored with several Copic greens and I used a mod Lawn Fawn Merry Christmas die cut, using only the MERRY.
The Spellbinder dies are amazing. It will be fun to see how the IC572 gallery has come to life. Thanks for the challenge, Audrie. And to Mary for such beautiful choices in the Christmas colors! I appreciate your comments.

What a fabulous scene you've created. Your choice of dp is perfection ... goes so well with the vintage feel to this beauty.
I hope to get into something this afternoon.

What a fantastic holiday look you have created....it makes me think of Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol. The deep shades of red and all the details and textures are fabulous.
