Choose a 6' by 6' card panel from the Butterfly Dreams Paper Collection and cut the center round window using Eyelet Circle Basic Small Die Set. Also, distress the edges using a distressing tool or small scissors. Choose another pattern paper and create a window scene by layering the same with the help of glue dots. Further, create a green color mat and distress the edges and layer it using glue dots. Once happy with all layering, glue the card front to the ready card base.
Cut a white frame by nesting outer 2 dies of the Eyelet Circle and Basic Small die. Adhere it to the card window as shown. Cut a fancy frame from Butterfly Kisses Frame Die and cut all the corners apart. Adhere all the four corners as shown using glue that dries clear.
