Misty Moonlight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Real Red – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
In Good Taste dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Trimming the Town dsp

I began by adhering the piece of In Good Taste dsp to the Real Red layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, this gives the background effect. The upper panel was then added to the Misty Moonlight card base using the same glue.

Using the Home Together Dies to cut out some of the houses and trees from the Trimming the Town dsp. I love that we can do this. This card front is made entirely using the dsp, no stamping.

I die cut the snow banks using the same dies and the one of the Whisper White panels. The upper snow bank was added to the card front with liquid glue and the lower snow bank was mounted on the card front using Dimensionals.

The die cut houses were then tucked under the snow banks and glued down using the liquid glue. One of the larger trees was added in the same way. The other 2 trees were added with the liquid glue  to the bottom snow bank and some shadowing added with the light Gray Granite Blends Marker.

I cut the sentiment from one of the one of the Trimming the Town dsp sheets and added it with the liquid glue. The card was complete by adding a scatter of Snowflake Sequins.
