I think that this card is my favorite of this batch of Christmas cards. I just love the snowflakes in Letterpress Winter. It takes a little bit of practice, but the snowflakes will line up perfectly with the snowflake shape on the card. It helps a lot that this stamp set is photopolymer, and you can see right where you need to stamp.
I used all three snowflakes in the stamp set, stamping them randomly on the card background in Whisper White ink. I then stamped the largest snowflake in the center using Lost Lagoon ink. Lost Lagoon is gorgeous with Soft Sky, in case you can't tell from the picture! I used the snowflake dies that come with the the card die to punch out one snowflake from silver Glimmer Paper, and the other from Lost Lagoon card stock. I cut banners for the greeting from the same papers.
I plan to play with this stamp set and color combination a lot more. My little great-nieces are obsessed with Frozen, and I know they would go crazy if I could make a Frozen-like card and send it to them in the mail. I can just hear the squeals now. :)
