I used a lovely image from Purple Onion Designs, which included 3 snowmen (and 3 trees!) so that was the 3 covered.
I then realised that if I used one of my favourite shaped card bases, there are 6 pointy bits (technical term) on the base and I usually put a pearl on each one, so if I put one more pearl in a corner, that would be the 7 covered.
So I was just left with the 5.
Well, after thinking I could add 5 snowflakes, but then disregarding that because the image is quite large and I didn't think I could fit in 5 die cut snowflakes, I had a brainwave!
I used 5 Colours; red, green, blue, orange and brown. Genius!!! ;0)
I stamped the image twice, and fussy-cut out one set of the snowmen. I then raised them up on foam pads to create more texture on an otherwise quite simple card.
