Merry Monday # 232 A Photo Inspiration

Deanne has provided us with a wonderful photo to make our card for the Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge ...look at it and choose what you see and make it your own!
I saw lots of white and bits of red, so I went with that!

This is what I used on my card:
Altenew:  Pine Tree, Snowing
Decora stamp:  Christmas (Santa & reindeer)
Casual Friday's:  Sentiment
Ribbon Tag die
red copics, white embossing powder and Unicorn white pigment ink

Please check out all the fabulous cards from the rest of the team and I look forward to seeing your card in the gallery!

Heart Hugs, friends!
