Supplies:

Tube of Choice. I am using the awesome art of Ismael Rac.

Filters - Xero Porcelain, Eye Candy 4000 gradient glow.

Font of choice, I used Liquorice.

Let's start!

Open a new canvas 700 x 700, floodfill white. Copy and paste a frame.

Using your magic wand, click inside the frame, selections, modify, expand by 5. Copy and paste a paper. Selections invert, delete. Select none.

Copy and paste a snowman. Mirror, drop shadow.
