I started with a background coloured with Magicals. I LOVE this colour (Tibetan Poppy Teal). I stamped a snowflake background over top and heat embossed in iridescent embossing powder. I used the background to create two cards with the same design. I will keep one for my stash and the other will be donated.
I used a NBUS die that I've only had a short while. I love how it frames the background and adds a few trees for interest. The sentiment is heat embossed in silver.
The magicals have a shimmer and shine like no other. It doesn't come across in the photos unless I tilt the panel so the light catches the shimmer.
Here's a close-up ...
