Tim introduced a new product this month called "Frosted" during his December tag tutorial. It looks interesting and I hope he demonstrates other uses for it in future posts.
I substituted old-fashioned drafting vellum for my background and text by using the Falling Snow stencil (Simon Says Stamp) and a section from Tim's Christmas Words stamp along with some embossing ink and powder to create a similar effect.
The reindeer was embellished with Perfect Pearls and you may recognize the leaves from Tim's Wallflower paper stash. The number 25 is an Idea-ology Plaquette.
I'd like to share an embossing technique seen on the leaves as it comes in handy when you want fine details and better control.

The ink stays wet long enough to apply embossing powder. I used various pen colors and clear powder in this example.
