LizBeth asked us to make it icy. Sorry, no hockey things here but making it icy made me think of the black ice technique. You can find the tutorial in our tutorial section here: Black Ice Technique Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
I thought this big snow crystal was perfect and love the metallic blue mat layer. I stamped the sentiment, punched it and the mat, and popped it up with foam tape.
Thanks for the challenge and thanks for looking!

That snow crystal really shines against the black ice background. The metallic blue mat adds such a crisp, wintry edge, and the layered sentiment works beautifully with the clean, icy feel. A striking take on the challenge.
