The New Horizons Designer Paper is gorgeous, and a perfect background for the windmill. I selected this colorful design of 6″ X 6″ DSP, cut it to 4″ X 5 1/4″, and glued it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Windmill On The Horizon

To make the building part of the Windmill, I used two Windmill Dies. A frame die was used to cut from Thick Basic White Cardstock, and a detailed die was used to cut from In Good Taste Designer Paper in gray. Then, I glued the two parts together with a tiny bit of Liquid Glue.

I used the same In Good Taste DSP to cut the blades for the windmill, backed the blades with Thick Basic White Cardstock, and glued it to the building.

To complete the scene, I added four rows of tulips, cut with a Windmill Fields Die from New Horizons Designer Paper. And, a tiny fence, also cut with Windmill Fields Dies, from Thick Basic White Cardstock.

I needed a small sentiment, which I found in the Sweet As A Peach Stamp Set. I stamped “It’s your day!” in Memento Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, used the Messages Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
