Here's another view of my card:

I started by cutting a circle aperture from a piece of card using a Memory Box die and then did some reverse masking through the aperture on to another piece of white card using Basic Gray ink from Stampin' Up.  

I die cut some 'hills' using a die from Stampin' Up and applied ink along the border of the die cut to create the ground level.  The moon is die cut from a Post-It Note.

Then I used the Stampin' Up 'Snow Front' stamp set to stamp my scene and finally drew round the circle using a fine liner and the circle I die cut to make my mask.

The sentiment I used is from 'Wrapped in Christmas' also by Stampin' Up.
