The background treeline image was stamped first with Bashful Blue craft ink on Concord Crush cardstock and heat set really well. Then I stamped the deer and foreground trees with white craft and heat embossed with white EP. Finally, the Snow Dots backgrounder was stamped over the other images with white craft ink and embossed with iridescent ice EP. The finished stamped layer was then cut into four panels and adhered to the card base.
The sentiment panel is a a torn strip of white cardstock. After stamping the sentiment in Concord Crush, the straight edges were embossed with the scor-pal and the torn edge accented with DD glitter using a glue pen. I then added the punched snowflakes and gems. The sentiment panel is popped up on dimensionals.
The finished card is 5 x 6 1/2 inches.
