The camera has decided to make the front cardstock look a pink colour when in fact it is a red shade to match the candle. I used an oval XCut Nestie to cut the red card and the card itself for the aperture and adhered the digi image to the inside of the card. Snowman has been layered up on foam pads and the candle flame too. The holly on the front of card was left from printing several snowman to cut for the decoupage effect. Coloured using Promarkers and pastel chalks. Berries were given a covering of Glossy accents. Sentiment cut using Britannia word dies.
