Stamp #516 Christmas Card

For the outside of this card I randomly stamped small snowflakes with metallic inks (Color Box - ice; Encore - silver; and Archival - platinum planet). Next, I cut out the area where I wanted to place the window frame (die: Impression Obsession small window with shutters) and attached the window frame.
 I then focused on the left side of the inside of the card.  I took a small piece of transparency plastic and attached it so it would look like glass panes and then covered with printed paper.
I stamped the Christmas tree (my own stamp) and the mouse and sentiment from Stamp Set #516 colored  with colored pencils and gamsol.
I then went back to the front of the card and attached the shutters and window box with pop dots for a little dimension. Next, I stamped the row of bows on a scrap of red cardstock and fussy cut it and attached it to the top of the window.  Since my background had snowflakes - I needed SNOW -- but what should I use?  White glitter? Distressed glitter? I remembered I had some Aleene's Glitter Snow (which is thick and dimensional when dried) so I stumbled around my room until I finally found it and applied it to the top of the window; the shutters; the window panes and on the holly leaves on the front of the window box...........after stamping Merry Christmas, my card was now complete.
