Her pastel background comes alive with the added snowflakes (Snowfall stencil) and the white wintry trees (Forest Scene Builder die set). She uses the Land Borders die set for her ground.

She places her sentiment on a banner (Frames & Flags die set) and uses the Framework die set for the postage-stamp edging. Her added birds and squirrel (Forest Scene Builder die set) completes her amazing card!
