Breeze-y Vertigo Windows

By Maureen

1. Cut a 4.25 x 5.5″ card from brown cardstock and 4″ x 5.25″ card from shimmer gold.

2. Cut 3 strips of Vertigo Breeze 5″ x 5/8″ and punch 3 strips of the geometric design using the brown cardstock.

3. Trim Vertigo Breeze strips to fit the ‘windows’ and adhere to the back of each geometric strip.

4. Adhere geometric strips to gold shimmer cardstock horizontally, aligning the squares like subway tile; each row offset.

5. Punch a design of some sort to add the sentiment, using an inkblusher, apply StazOn Opaque Cotton White ink, let dry. Stamp ‘Thank You’ with StazOn Ganache.

6. Punch a small hole on each side of the sentiment piece and string the brown twine. Adhere ends of twine to the back of the gold shimmer cardstock and then adhere the gold shimmer cardstock to the brown card.
