This is the inspirational photograph:
I was inspired by the night sky, the snowman and the trees, don't forget to tell us what inspired you.
My image is a Hunkydory topper, but me being me, I had to cut it about a little - I cut out the main image with a Spellbinders Standard Circle Die and mounted it onto a Scalloped Circle cut from silver Mirri. I then added several layers of decoupage. The background was created using some dark blue spotty paper and some water colour card stock that I have torn to create the snowy base, a little glitter on the snow and some snowflakes along with a LOTV stamped sentiment complete the scene.
I have decorated the inside of my card to match the front, you can also see the decoupage in this photograph:
