Mr & Mrs

Hello!  It's Would You Ever Guess Wednesday with My Cricut Craft Room.  Today the projects include a clear item in them.  For my card I used the plastic packaging from a Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the window pane on the chapel.

This is the back of the chapel cut.  I used glossy accents to adhere the plastic packaging to the back, to form the window pane.

Close up of the window.
