I used Naturals White as my base and then added a layer of Coastal Cabana. Then I embossed my Silver Foil with the Northern Flurry embossing folder. For the bottom of that layer I chose the pretty lattice design from the retired Winter Frost Specialty Designer Paper. To cover the join, I used my Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch to cut a piece of Coastal Cabana and then glued a piece of the 1/8" Silver Ribbon along the centre.
For the centre, I used Deco Labels Collection framelits to cut some Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White cardstock and a piece of Silver Foil. For some of those layers I simply cut around the die-cut piece to make a thin mat. For the cute little snowman, I turned to the Best of Snow stamp set and then used the Holiday Cheer stamp set for my sentiment.
I love the way the Frosted Finishes embellishment echoes the larger embossed snowflake, don't you?
