The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a fun one. It's truly an open canvas, great for scenes or to showcase sentiments - let your imagination run wild! Our sponsor is DRS Designs, one of favorite and recurring sponsors. My card features stamps from DRS Designs - Large Filigree Snowflake and Joy of Christmas greeting. I love the color combination of silver (or gray) and red. It's so beautiful!
By the time I finished this card, the snowflakes didn't look like snowflakes anymore and now my mind is racing on how else can I use this stamp? I think it would be gorgeous lined up as a continuous pattern. I stamped the snowflakes with VersaMark and used silver and red embossing powders. I've literally had these powders for almost 20 years! Who said they go bad? I wish I hadn't listened to that person because I threw away a lot of powder. Anyway - it turned out beautiful! I then matted the stamped panel and the sentiment panel to some red foil paper from a Christmas paper pack. The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine onyx black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I also added some silver glitter tape and red glitter tape. The red glitter tape, I actually cut a single piece length-wise to make some thinner width tape before adhering to my card. This was actually really quick to put together and would be easily massed produced. If you do the stamping/embossing on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper and then cut it down - bam! 4 cards ready!

Beautiful card! That snowflake design is very pretty in two colors, it makes for a lovely Christmas card. I hope your power is back on soon and that your neighborhood gets back to normal.
The stamped background looks amazing here, and I just love the color combo! Those sparkly ribbons are the perfect finishing touch in keeping with the sketch and the sentiment is lovely too! Here's hoping you came through the hurricane with little to no damage and are OK.
