I created the background using Scattered Straw, Seeded Preserves & Wilted Violet. I love how it came out! I splattered the background with white ink and water droplets. I used the hill die from the Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics Die Set to create my snow hill. I also added some glitter to it. I used my Heffy Doodle Stitched Slimline Dies to create the frame. I added all the images and a stamped sentiment onto the card with foam pads. To finish I added some clear dew drops.
