Sometimes challenges come along in "bunches" that can be combined into a single card and these are SO MUCH FUN! How could I possibly resist a challenge to fit everything into a 1" space while making a scene and using a smaller-format card? 😀
AAA Cards Challenge #203 offered up the opportunity to put everything into a 1" space, Just Us Girls #610 challenged us to use a mini slim line card (3.25" x 6.25"), and Happy Little Stampers November Christmas requested that we "Make a Scene".
I die-cut a 1" square from white cardstock just slightly smaller than the mini slim-line size and I die-cut a drift of snow with a Lawn Fawn stitched wave and mounted it behind the square opening. I die-cut 3 tiny trees from Alexandra Renke #D-XX-AR-W0128 "Winter City" and layered them in the snow drift and mounted a small piece of blue and silver Japanese rice paper directly on the face of the card and placed the winter scene over this. It really doesn't get any simpler.
I had just enough of this beautiful paper that I've been hoarding for a year from which I made a custom envelope. It's Ella & Viv Paper Company from their "Spice Market Collection".
One word: perfection! Love it.
