Create a Window on a Background Die Cut

Hello! Happy New Year! This is my first card of the year. I am using products from Kat Scrappiness.

I die cut a black cardstock using the KS Buffalo Plaid Background die. I created a square frame using 2 nesting dies from the KS Never Ending Square dies. I used a matte gold cardstock for the frame. I die cut 4 pieces of this frame and adhered one on top of the other to create a chipboard-like frame. I adhered this to the plaid panel lining it with the pattern. I set this aside until the liquid glue has dried. I trimmed off the part of the panel inside the square frame to create the window.

I trimmed the same matte gold cardstock at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" for the back panel of the plaid panel.

I heat embossed the sentiment on the part of the gold cardstock showing through the window. I used a Misti Stamping Tool to stamp the sentiment. I used Versafine Onxy Black ink for stamping pouring clear embossing powder over it. I wanted a darker shade of black for the embossed sentiment. Good thing I used the Misti. I re-positioned the panel back on the Misti and re-stamped the image using the same black ink except this time I used a black embossing powder.

I adhered the plaid window panel over the gold panel. I have a lot of space between the sentiment and the window frame. To fill this void, I die cut a black cardstock using a stitched square die which is the same size as the window. I created this into a frame using a slightly smaller square die from the KS Never Ending Square die set. I applied shimmer to this frame using a black Wink of Stella shimmer pen. I adhered this to the inside of the window making sure it is flushed on the side of the window. 

I die cut some stars from holographic cardstock. The star dies I used are from the KS Nesting Fishtail Banner Dies set. I adhered this to the left bottom corner of the window. I added cream gems to the center of the stars. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day. Cheers to a new year!
