Winter Snow

This is one of the new Framin' Christmas cards from La Pashe called "Winter Snow"

Very, very simple to make up as all the pieces are die cut and also, unlike the previous large Framin' Cards, these are small ones measuring approx 7" x 5 3/4".
I'll try and get round to posting a couple more later today as I'm still trying to catch up with everything after my manic weekend away in London.
Have a nice day xx
