    Sounds easy enough to sketch on white vynull and cut it by hand.

    Some time ago, I used this one http://www.renaelindgrenproducts.com/im … igSnow.jpg

    You will get some feel for it from that Photo.

    All my borders are on CD, If I can help anymore, Graham

    ive created loads of snowy windows for shops and supermarket counters

    The way Ive done it is cut vinyl into strips about 4 or 5 inches deep and about the width of your outstreched arms
    lay on the workbench or tape to the wall then through the middle of each
    strip cut a wavy line,by hand vary the waves but cut generally through the middle

    Then with some pale blue in an airbrush spray lightly along your cut line the full width varying the width of the spray and intensity
    dust some more wavy lines with the airbrush in other parts of the strip but not off the edges

    when you turn up on site apply the flat edge to the bottom of the window and work your way along applying the strips
    you might need to trim where the joins meet with a knife so the waves flow into each other

    If you have understood this then you will be really surprised by the effect

    Iill see if ive got any old pics to show
