Method
Trace
1. Trace all of the design with a white pencil.
Emboss
2. Emboss the design, beginning softly with a Shader or Large Ball tool. Work a second layer with the same tool using more pressure where the areas are going to be lighter. Gradually work with finer tools to build up the light areas. Emboss the greeting and the borders with a Fine Ball tool.
Cut
3. Cut out the window with a craft knife.
Finishing
4. Score and fold the parchment along the fold line and attach to a folded piece of dark blue card with a strip of narrow double sided tape. Use a peel off border to cover the join. Apply a peel off star or a sprinkling of glitter glue in the window space. Trim around the border through all of the layers with a rule and craft knife.
