IN: This card was for the Featured Stamper challenge and this was the card I chose to CASE . I kept the layout , but changed the stamp set , colors and omitted the dry embossing . I just love this image and it was so much fun to watercolor , but it did take me quite a lot of time . I do n't know if you can tell but I used Dazzling Diamonds to make my snow nice and shiny .
Why did I keep the layout ?
