The background is done on vellum, stamped multiple times with three different snowflakes from Snow Charm (Penny Black). I stamped them in Versamark and heat embossed in white. I flipped the vellum over and sponged Salvaged Patina randomly over the background. The background was splattered with white ink to create falling snow and heat embossed to dry before mounting it between two frames (Semi-Circle Stackers - 51-706) from Penny Black. The Star image was adhered to the front of the vellum and a simple sentiment (Full of Christmas - 30-734) Penny Black, was stamped in black.
The whole panel was popped up with 1/4" adhesive foam strips on the back of the frame. This allows the dreaminess of vellum to show.
