Had so much fun making this one layer card. Sponged a light base coat of blue before stamping the pine boughs in 2 greens around the border, then pinecones and the berries. Stamped the sentiment, and then sponged more darkly where I thought it needed it. Added WOS to the pine boughs, and stickles to the berries. Splattered diluted white acrylic paint for "snow", and added white gel pen for snow on the pine cones. LOVE how this turned out (so sparkly IRL), and it actually did NOT take me 1 ½ to 2 hours to make (a small miracle for me)!!!

Wow, I love this version even more than the fall one. I had not seen this one before, but don't know how I could have missed it! I love the fir branches around the frame and those Pine cones are fantastic. But I think the thing that makes it so much a beautiful scene is the snowy frosty looking sky or center of the card! It really brings each element of the card together!
