Ski Slope Window Card

I pierced above the "window" in the Chocolate Chip card stock with my piercing tool from the Crafter's Tool Kit (104310, page 184)
Punch: 1 3/'8" Square (103375 page 188)
I lined up the Ski Slope Designer paper so it was diagonal in the punch – it wasn't hard to get them pretty even by making sure one corner was n the same place. Then mounted these 4 squares on Whisper White Card stock – I just love this look!! Am going to have to try this one again.

I love the way the cardinal turned out using the watercolor pencils. The scan doesn't do him justice, but he is really quite shiny!!
