Start with an A6 landscape card of Basic Gray. Add a card front layer of Simply Elegant Specialty DSP. Adhere a narrow border (a little deeper than a scalloped oval) of Smoky Slate card. Punch the scalloped oval from a deeper strip of Basic Gray card with the Double Oval punch. Trim away any of the border that has been punched with the plain oval. Die cut two scalloped ovals from Smoky Slate card. Using Basic Gray ink, stamp the flower from the Elegantly Said set onto the ovals. Adhere them direct to the punched Basic Gray border and trim away any excess. Pop the border up over the Smoky Slate border with dimensionals.

Using Basic Gray ink, stamp a sentiment from the Elegantly Said set onto a scrap of Basic White card. Punch out with the plain oval using the Double Oval punch. Pop this up on dimensionals inside the scalloped oval window.

Here’s a video showing how to create the punched window border. Please subscribe to my Youtube channel to make sure you see all future quick tips.
