For my hidden gem, I used the wonderful Winter Town and a sort of spotlight technique. I also did something I rarely do…I didn’t color a single thing.  At first I wanted to white emboss it on navy card stock, but the image is so detailed, it just couldn’t be done. So I went in the reverse direction and stamped it with navy ink onto white card stock. Just the spotlight area was stamped again on a smaller, taller piece and I added some “snow” with the Ink Spots image and few snowflakes cut from the Snow die.
I used the Marble Feathers background on the navy card stock layers. You can see it a bit more on the card inside along with some trimmed off navy strips and some stamped snowflakes & one fussy cut snowflake.Â

Beautiful card. Love this image.
I love this wintry Town Scene! The way you used the spotlight technique is really inventive with the added snow flurries!
Thanks for your inspiration!
This is really pretty…I like that neat technique that you used! The snow scene is just lovely. The only thing is…
I DON’T like snow! (we have LOTS of it right now, and it’s so COLD!
