I used JB-08780 Merry Little Christmas 1 5/8" & 2" for my very white card today. My layout inspiration started with Mojo Monday Sketch #159. I started off with a white cardstock base, added a white dry embossed (with a snowflake embossing folder) layer and topped that with some heat embossed snowflakes. I stamped the snowflake randomly and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I added a silver pearl from Pizzazz Aplenty in the center of each snowflake. For my sentiment, I stamped "Merry Christmas to You" in Memento Tuxedo Black, cut out with a Spellbinders standard circle die and attached it to a Heidi Swapp acetate snowflake. All layers are popped up with foam tape.
