Wintry Layered Country View Scene Card - the finished project
The finished project

Create an elegant A5 card featuring a die-cut country landscape with layered trees and rolling fields in white and blue patterned papers. A charming red house sits atop the hill with embossed details and a star accent, whilst the 'Home' sentiment with a red heart adds a warm festive touch. This project uses die-cutting, layering and embossing techniques to build a beautiful wintry scene perfect for Christmas.
