First, I splashed my background with Peekaboo Peach and Marina Mist. I did let the color dry between splashes.

Next, I randomly stamped snowflakes on the background using Marina Mist.

Then I stamped my tree using Early Espresso. I added the leaves and ornaments using various colors.

I stamped, die cut, and sponged my sentiment. I attached it using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added the tree topper using a glue dot.

I assembled the card, and added the extra Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.
