The depth that was created with the stark black and white is amazing. The paper-torn, snow covered mountain is also very clever.

The snowman is so beautifully coloured and looks fabulous against the patterned paper. The wooden disc secured with twine is a lovely, rustic embellishment. I would be overjoyed to receive a handmade card like this!
