I thought these gorgeous Memory Box Birch Trio and  Deer Trio,  were perfect for this Ice Inspirations challenge.  I decided to make this a circular card for a change - it didn't make live easy but then I never do!!!
I layered up the images to create some depth and wanted to use all white put found it became wishy-washy so I use background with Bazzill  Sea Glass, and used a little Copics colour with the larger trees and deer.
I used the Glitter Ritz White Opaque to cover most of the ground and images. I tried different methods of giving the look of snow falling, the one that was the most effective for my need was a clear laminate which I embossed with a  Cuttlebug  Swiss Dots - I did have to take a off center photo so the laminate didn't shine through the image.
