Snow Wonder by Stampin UP® "Winter wonderland"

Glad you popped by today!  The Snow Wonder Bundle is one of my favorites bundles for Christmas!  I just love the way the Snowman looks.  This bundle has it all, images, sentiments and dies to cut out the images and labels for the sentiment.  You can't go wrong here!  I had not done a Christmas Card using the purples yet and thought this one would be perfect.  The use of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series paper helped with the purple tones. One of the things I've struggled with in the past is doing snow hills and banks.  For this card I just drew them on a piece of Whisper White and then cut them out.  It worked great. I also sponged the edges of the hills so that they would pop on the card front. Another great benefit with this bundle is the cards go together really quick!  Always a huge plus in my eyes!  Tell me what you think in the comments below!
