Variations
Different sizes
Try different card sizes. Whatever size you want to create, make your card base a bit smaller and then let your image stick over so much that it will end at the regular height of that card size.

I used Circle Nestabilities to cut the image and the scallop circle behind it.

I have a question: It looks like you have layered the stamps on some soft beige paper? I'm trying to get a good look at how you got the beige color on the background of the snowmen and the phrase. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jackie
