I LOVE this card! Great use of the snowflakes, Good color combo, nice accents, and nice texture with layered colors. Very nicely done! May I CASE this for SAS?

Feel free to CASE it for your SAS. That is what I am using it for. I CASED the idea of using the snowflakes as a wreath from someone else - I wish I could remember who so I could give credit. I've seen it done with the heartfelt thanks set too.

I inked the smallest single snowflake with artichoke ink, and started stamping it in a circle. Stamp until the ink is pretty much gone and then ink it up again and continue stamping your circle until it is well filled in with color. Towards the end, you probably will want to stamp off on scrap paper before stamping your wreath as you don't want too much of the really dark artichoke ink. The lighter shades you get when you stamp off blend in better and make it less obvious that the wreath is composed of snowflakes and not pine branches. Once you are satisfied with the wreath, stamp the tiny multiple snowflake stamp into real red and use that as the berries. I stamped it twice and then reinked.
