This is my entry for the SCS Clean and Simple Challenge CAS301 Lovely as a Tree (from 27th Nov) where you need to add a tree to your card. Please see this link for the details on the challenge----> CAS301 - Lovely as a Tree by ohmypaper! at Splitcoaststampers I am trying to use the SCS CAS Challenges as a springboard for making my Christmas cards - fun, FUN!
The aqua glitter cardstock frame was diecut using my Big Shot and a My Favorite Things - Merry Photo Card Frame die and I trimmed off the word 'Merry' because the word covered up my scene. The dot embossing is a retired embossing folder by Cuttlebug - Kars Snowflakes. You will most likely not be able to find this embossing folder anywhere online but if you check this post on my blog here----> http://www.instead-of-ironing.blogsp...ake-scene.html - I have several suggestions for alternative embossing folders that you can use.
The scene is a die by Cottage Cutz - Winterland Wonderland Scene. Because I wanted to have a space to add a sentiment, I used one of the dies from the My Favorite Things Snow Drifts set and diecut some white cardstock and layered that over the bottom of the diecut scene.
The snowflake on the bottom LHS is by My Favorite Things - Snowflakes Trio (I used the smallest snowflake in the set) and the snowflake on the RHS above the Church was punched using a Martha Stewart Snow Flurry edge punch ie: it is one of the leftover snowflake punchies from using the punch. I glued the scene and snowflakes down using Tombow Mono Multi glue then attached the scene to my white cardstock base and trimmed the edges to 1/16" using my Perfect Layers Tools - apart from the top of the card which is where the card fold is.
The 'Peace' is a die by Elizabeth Craft Designs and was diecut from the same aqua glitter cardstock and attached using Tombow Mono Multi glue.
Lastly, I added a Hero Arts CH213 Sea Mixed Accents rhinestone to each snowflake centre.

Such a beautiful scene! I love your composition. The sweeping branches of the tree and you blue glitter frame the scene wonderfully! Thanks for the details too!
