Today's sketch looked just about perfect for trying out this Penny Black stamp .
Base is 5 3/4", edged with a gold leafing pen.
Snow panels are ODBD Snowflake background, stamped with black ink on white card, and with Versamark and embossed with white on black card - these are also edged with gold.
Image is Penny Black stamped on Bristol Board with Versafine Black and coloured with distress inks. I used Appli Glue for snow in the foreground, and red Liquid Pearls for the holly berries (and to dot the i in the sentiment). It also is edged with gold, and popped up on foam. I used a See-D's sentiment.

What an awesome card!! I love how you have the white on the black, and then the other way around with your snowflakes. The horizontal image is adorable. You really created something special today. :>)

What a perfect snowman scene for this sketch - I really like how you added gold trim to the bg - this is such a wonderful design for Christmas card! Congrats on winning the MFT sketch prize this week, you lucky thing!
