I'm very happy to participate in this hop and help bringing this noble cause to light. For this project, I used my all time favorite winter stamp set by Lawn Fawn and available in Kat Scrappiness shop.

I first started by stamping my images on Neenah white cardstock using my Misti tool and memento tuxedo black ink. Colored them using my alcohol markers and cut them using the coordinating dies.

Next I die cut trees from white cardstock and white glitter cardstock, and three cloud borders from the same cardstocks to create snowy grounds.

I cut and scored a large bristol smooth panel according to Janie's measurements, created the sky using two shades of distress inks and applied glimmer paste on it using a snow stencil.

Once everything was dry, I attached the cloud borders on the step parts using double sided tape. I white heat embossed my sentiment on bristol smooth cardstock, trimmed it to make a small banner and applied ink on it, the same as the darkest one I used on the background.

Finally, I attached all the elements on the step panel using glue dots.
