I white embossed "sending hugs" (from Altenew's Evergreen Beauty stamp set) on a strip of black cardstock and attached it under the flower. Finish the card by attaching some glitter drops on the flower centers. Below is another look of the card:

I glued one spinning nail charm in the center of "o" and attached the snowflake die on it to make it spinning.
