GSG2 Hostess Preview Swap Card

I made this card a few weeks ago as a Hostess Preview Swap for the Great Swaps Girls 2. I just received my swaps back today, so I figure it's safe to post this now. This card uses a fun new level 3 hostess set called Window Dressing. It comes with a window image and several images to put in the window. I chose the little girl, the cat, and the bird. I think there's also a pumpkin, some flowers, and snowmen. There are three sentiments that curve so you can place them over the window. The chocolate polka dot paper is the new Bella Rose paper. Thank you is from Short & Sweet. Here's a close-up of the window. I stamped the window image and cut out the main panel (wish I had cut the top parts of the window too). Then I attached a piece of acetate (a transparency) behind it to make a "window". I used SU! markers to color in the window and shutters. I stamped the bird image in Staz-On directly onto the window sheet, then I stamped another bird on whisper white, colored and cut it out, and adhered it with a dimensional. The sentiment is stamped on Riding Hood Red, cut out, and popped up on dimensionals. That entire piece is layered onto a smaller piece of whisper white using dimenionals. The smaller piece of whisper white, which is in the background, is stamped with the window image. I stamped the cat directly in the window of that piece. The girl is stamped on a scrap paper, cut out and glued in on top of the cat. The curtains are made with Bella Rose paper. The panels are thin strips of paper. The valance is made with the new SU! scalloped edge punch. The DSP is adhered with Tombo Liquid Glue.
Here's a tilted photo that lets you see how the outside window is popped up off of the inside portion. I thought this would make it feel more like the girl and cat are inside, while the bird is outside.

Hope your weekend is going well. The Punch Class was a big hit. Everyone seemed to really enjoy making the cards and punch templates. They loved the handouts that I gave them. They're ones I found on this thread on Splitcoast made by Lorri Reibin (Cre8tingMemories).
