Hi - Dawn here to share my card using supplies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.     


I die cut the gorgeous ECD die "Snowflakes" from some Altenew Dazzling Diamond Glitter card.  I cut it in half and added either side of the banner with the sentiment on it.
My background was cut with a square die from Gina K Master Layouts and run through a embossing folder - a freebie from years ago.  I added lots of Pinkfresh Metallic silver pearls.
