Loving how this festive card came together using the Altenew Zero Waste Ornamental Winter Pattern Die! ❄️ Not only does this die create a gorgeous pattern, but it's also designed for less waste, which is a win-win in my book!

The circular design, vibrant colors, and heartfelt sentiment make this perfect for sending warm wishes this season.
