Fussy and Fancy DT Card - Punches and Dies

We have a new challenge for you today at Fussy and Fancy, this fortnight I think our theme is going to be a popular one, it's "Punches and Dies".
 I used Spellbinders Grand Ovals to make the oval easel card and to create all the layers, the snowy layers were torn from textured card after die cutting.  I've only had my Grand Calibur a year, I can't image crafting without it now.  I still have my Cuttlebug for when I want to use thicker dies, but I have to say that I really love these large nesties.  The papers I've used are Dovecraft Back to Basics Christmas, I picked them up in the January sale after last Christmas at a ridiculously cheap price.
The stamped image is a Wild Rose Studios stamp, which came free with the current issue of Quick Cards Made Easy, I could hardly wait to get my mag home to get the stamp inked up, I think it's beautiful.  I Stamped it in London Fog Memento ink and coloured it with Promarkers, I also decoupaged the girl, the dog and the two robins for a bit of dimension.  To make the trees snowy, I used Cosmic Shimmer white glue (it dries white rather than clear) and sprinkled it with Glamour Dust, I also highlighted the image with Star Dust Stickles for even more sparkle.
The trees were cut with Sizzix dies from dark green pearl card, and I continued our challenge theme by using an EK Success border punch on the stopper element of the card.
To finish off, I added a bow, made by tying organza and satin ribbons together, and two Craftwork Cards sentiments.

    Hi Wendy!
    When I saw your card, I could hardly wait to click onto it and get a better look! What a gorgeous Christmas snow scene you have created! I love your card and who ever receives this lovely creation in the mail will treasure it forever.
    I have been missing for a long while due to personal reasons and my own posts have certainly been few and far between. It's good to be, "Back"!
    I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!
    Warmest Hugs, Sheryl
