The background is coloured using Stormy Sky, Dusty Concord and Scattered Straw inks along with the moon and hills masks by Clarity. The wonderful stamp by IndigoBlu is stamped in Black Archival and I used the tree to edge the scene. I added 'snow' with dries white glue and Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Sparkles and used Quickie Glue Pen and the sparkles on the tree and edging. The last thing is Card Candi dotted with 'snow'. I didn't use any extra layers as I didn't think it needed it.
I nearly forgot I also would like to enter this into the Stamping challenge over at That's Crafty.
