Here is something new l got the idea from
 Di who got the idea from Greta Here
It's a technique called 
 "Camouflaging Die cuts"
Basically you die cut your Image or Word die from the base card/paper
l first used Chalk and covered part of the card
To create a snowy effect l then Die cut another 5 trees from Kraftcard
You then just build up your image by sticking each tree and placed the 1st cut tree 
On the top giving it the Camouflage/dimention look
