On my main card front I embossed white snow by pouncing my versa mark through the falling snow stencil and then embossing in white. Blended distress inks for sky - trying to create a faded look as I moved upwards. Then I sprayed this with shimmer spritz (so pretty IRL) and then let dry and pressed under a book for a bit. Meanwhile, I die cut the houses, trees, and hill with dies, backed the houses with fine linen cs so it would show through the windows, embossed one of the trees for texture, stamped a very light text in fine linen ink on the white tree and one house, stamped the sentiment (masking so I could use 2 colors), and then popped up on the main card front with dimensionals. Whew, that was a lot of steps but it actually went quite quickly and I love how it turned out. Linking to IC470 and
