I didn't use the Conservatory Window itself but 

the "leftover" frame. I used a pair of scissors to round

the top corners and then adhered the frame on top of the pattern paper.

I fussy cut two of the patterns and one phrase 

so I can use them on my card.

I combined the banner with the heart and

added the phrase above them.

For the Garden Greens I used white cardstock -

simply because they pop up very well against the background.

Then I added three cute flowers as a final touch.

I didn`t miss to adhere most of the card "ingredients" :-)

with my favourite foam squares so I will have more dimension.

Other Products I Used:

Simple Layout by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix friends!

I hope you all enjoyed a very special 

Valentine's Day with your loved ones!

Today I would love to share with you my

vision of a simple layout using gorgeous Sizzix dies.

Because I wanted to add flowers and the collection

didn`t have any I decided to make my own.

I simply chose different pattern papers and die cut some flowers.

For the centers I die cut exactly around the tiny white hearts.

This window is a combination of two dies - 

Conservatory Window and Window & Window Box.

The top of the Conservatory Window was used

on top of the other window.

The die-cut circles spread all over the page were

die cut from the Frame Layers & Flower #2.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Webster's Pages - "Sprinkled with Love" collection

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!

 Card Size: 10.2 cm x 15.5 cm

The Conservatory Window and Holiday Lamppost were die cut twice:

a. Once, using pattern paper and b. And second time using black and white cardstock.

The cardstock dies were used as shadows for the pattern paper windows.

The swirls decorating above the window are actually part of the Ornate Hanging Sign.

I cut out a few ornaments which I used for the top part of the window

and for the Holiday Lamppost as well.
