Make an elegant card with a split sentiment that appears to float across a scenic winter landscape. The 'Greetings' word is die-cut and separated into top and bottom sections, revealing the detailed black and white village scene beneath with touches of pink watercolour. This clever layering technique creates dimension and draws the eye through the card design.
Select a patterned paper mount from the Painted Mounts collection and position your word die (such as 'Greetings' from the Christmas Snow Drift die set) on top of it, ready to cut through the mount.
