I'm also entering this into the 52(Christmas Card) Challenge, which wants us to use lots of bling! I will also enter this into Stamptacular sunday, which wants Diamonds or Pearls, and Pals Paper Arts, which is looking for RED!
Here's my take:
I have turned the sketch on it's side, and stamped the Scandinavian style snowflake from Around Christmastime, from WMS, in Versamark and White Pearls embossing powder. It has a really beautiful pearly sheen, and this snowflake stamps a perfect image. I then topped the snowflakes with some beautiful red gems.
I then stamped the greeting randomly, in Ladybug Red, and attached a red border punched with a Martha Stewart punch.
Before adherin g the punched border, I wrapped some red bakers twine from The Ribbon Reel around it, and added a pretty bow with some little jingle bells topped with a clear rhinestone.
I then attached this panel to a white linen card base.
It's so cold outside, and we have some snow predicted for us here in West Berkshire tomorrow night, I hope we get enough to build a snowman!
I had better go and do some house work and ironing, as this weekend I will be sorting out our packing for our trip to The Gambia! It's currently 32 degrees there, I just hope the snow is gone by next Friday and doesn't delay our flight! I hate flying, so I'm already nervous, but I know I will love it when we are there! The kids are going to their Grandparents, so me and hubby have a whole week to ourselves - a total rarity! We will be a couple again, not just mum and dad, so it will take a bit of getting used to lol!
Have a great weekend, and stay warm!

Sounds like Gambia will be amazing... it is so cold here, the warm weather will be a nice change! We've been having snow all day today and have had to call the emergency plumber for frozen pipes. We've seen quite a few cars slipping on road outside too. Hope it's not bad for you there, Rx
Great card, Pauline. Love your intrepertation of the sketch. The Kraft, red and white embossing look wonderful together.
