I also used the same sized die from the XCut set for the wreath and using snippets of white, black and silver mirri card, I heat embossed the white ones with WOW Sparkling Snow, and the black with WOW Black Sparkle Embossing Powder. I finished the card with a piece of silver ribbon which came as part of a prize from Debby over at A Scrapjourney, and the sentiment is from a set of Indigoblu stamps which I stamped using Black Archival ink which I then heat embossed with WOW Clear EP.
