Card closed
This card was fun to make but getting the piece inside lined up perfectly was a bit of a challenge.(shown below) Most of the cards you see are usually for Christmas. Living in Iowa with Winter upon us, I thought this piece of the dsp would be great for a birthday card for someone in January or February.
The Diorama dies make a fun opening for a scene to show in an opening. First I added the piece of dsp (5 1/4" x 4") to the front of an Early Espresso card stock. I then cut the opening through both layers.
Since the card base is dark brown, I had to have a white layer inside for a message or just signing our names. I placed the die cut piece with the littledeer on the white card stock and it did nothing for me. It definitely needed to have a mat behind it. The next die bigger than the one I had used had a different shape to it as you can see in the picture below. The deer was added to the mat and after that I added glue to the back and then carefully jiggled it around so that the design shows perfectly through the opening on the front of the card.

Very cool, Vicki! I can see that it would be hard to line it up perfectly. A great winter card.
Awww. What a sweet card. I love the layering.
Sounds like it took some finagling, but it resulted in a very nice card!
