Congrats, Kris! Love your gallery and I've had my eye on Merry Christmas for a little while. I kept the great layout and Christmas theme, but changed the images, color and embossing folder.
On the image rectangle, I embossed the greeting and stamped a portion of the snowflake bg. I embossed a lg snowflake and some smaller ones. The ODBD snowflake die was used on the lg flake and I used a sm punch for the smaller ones. I used a MS snowflake border punch down one side of the cobalt layer. I didn't have any blue ribbon, so I used the stonewashed ink to dye my white satin ribbon to match.
For the lg bg, I used a Sizzix embossing folder and edge the panel w/ an ultramarine marker. The finished card measures 5.5 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! Close ps are on my blog The Write Stuff

This is so exquisite. I love that snowflake-it has so much detail and interest to delight and entertain the eye. The background embossing compliments the card perfectly. Just beautiful.
