I used a new (to me) Tim Holtz stamp set (Doodle Greetings 2) and a Tim Holtz die (Woodlands) to come up with this card:
I started by using the Woodlands tree die as a stencil and Jelly Bean Green ink (Gina K) and then simply stamped the Doodled Greetings 2 image in black ink over the stenciled tree.
I matted my card front to a black layer and adhered both to a top folding white card base, and simply finished with a small diamond gem in the center of the top snowflake. CAS and oh so easy and pretty!
