Some Glitter snowflakes from my stash

For this A2 card I started by making the base of the card with White card stock.  I took a piece of the Multi Color paper and added that to the base.  I took some White Glitter paper and I cut out some snow and added that to the card.  I took the Simon Says Stamp Flourish Bear die and some White card stock and cut out the bear.  I took some Black paper and cut out the bears head and put it behind the white bear.  I took some Shaded Lilac distress oxide and applied that to the bear and than I added him to the card.  I took more White Glitter paper and some more White card stock and the Sizzix Tim Holtz Peace die and cut it out once with Glitter paper and twice with White card stock and stacked it on top of each other and place it onto the card.  I took some White Glitter Snowflakes that I had in my stash and added them to the card.  I love the tranquil feel of this card and that is why I used the Peace word on it.
