Ninja Groomer

 

WT968 - Shop Windows

For my card, I used the Concord and 9th window die set and cut out the window scene.

My friends that I donate all my cards will be opening their new shop and this is the name of the shop. I cut the letters and added them to the awning. I then found scissors in my dies and cut those out and added them to the front of the window.

I finished with the die cut dog in the shop and a couple of pink felt hearts
