Directions:
--Cut the top and bottom mats to size per list.
--Use a sponge brayer to apply Coastal Cabana ink to the Whisper White top mat.
--Then stamp the mat with the trees from Rooted in Nature using Tranquil Tide ink. Use 1st & 2nd generation stamping.
--For the snow effect I used a stamp that I bought locally and stamped it several times to cover the surface of the card using Versamark ink - but any dotted type stamp you have could work. (Use embossing buddy on surface of card before stamping)
--Apply the white embossing powder and heat set.
--Stamp the label frame from the Labels to Love stamp set on a scrap of Whisper White.
--Then stamp the Let it Snow sentiment from the Nov2017 Paper Pumpkin Back in Plaid in the center of the frame.
