Tip: - Use an anti-static cloth prior to stamping and embossing, to help prevent unwanted embossing powder spots. - Apply the Distress Ink direct to paper for a quick and easy application.

Here's a recap of the instructions:
Trim Snow Layering Paper to form a card base to measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/5 inches.
Trim more Snow Layering Paper to measure 4 x 5 1/4 inches, to be slightly smaller then the card front.
Trim 2 pieces of Snow Layering Paper to be large enough to cover the Zig Zag background stamp, when stamping.
Take the Zig Zag background stamp, ink with Versamark Ink and stamp onto each of the pieces of Snow Layering Paper that was trimmed to cover the background stamp.
Apply White Embossing Powder and heat set with heat gun.
Take these pieces of embossed layering paper and the Fishtail Flags Stax Dies, run through a die cutting machine, making sure to run the medium size die through twice.
Apply the distress inks to all of the die cuts, wiping off excess ink that may be laying on the surface of the embossed sections.
Adhere each of these coloured die cuts to the trimmed piece of layering paper that measures 4 x 5 1 /4 inches.
Using some left over scratch Snow Layering Paper run it through the die cutting machine, this time cutting a circle die cut.
Taking the Hey Day Sentiments stamp set, ink up the sentiment that says Hello There with black dye ink and stamp towards the top of the circle die cut.
Take the next sentiment that says Lovely, ink up with Green Hills Mid Tone Shadow ink and stamp directly below the previous sentiment.
Finish the sentiment die cut off, by placing 3 Foliage Mixed Accents.
Adhere the sentiment circle to the Fishtail Flags Stax with foam dimensionals.
Apply foam dimensionals to the back of the main layering paper and adhere to the front of the card.
