I kept her long card (mine's 3 3/4 x 8 1/4), layout and design. I changed the colors to blues for today's Free 4 All to use blues, the ribbon treatment, made my own dp and changed the stamps to make a Christmas card for Mary's Sweet 'n Sassy Release Party Challenge.
For the panel I stamped the linen and french script bg's in baja, trying to make them NOT perfect! The swirl from Baroque Motfis was stamped in marina around the edges. The Peace stamp is a dollar stamp from Michael's, again in baja. Where Dianne had her medallion, I stamped the largest snowflake in NQN then overstamped with versamark and embossed with white ep and Ranger embossing tinsel for added glitter. The other snowflakes were done similarly. I sponged baja around the edges and also around the snowflakes to make them stand out a bit more. Ribbon and a glittery snowflake button complete the card.
Enjoy this day, Dianne!

This is absolutely gorgeous. If I had my way I would stamp nothing but snowflakes all year round. This beautiful card is going into my faves for sure!!! Love it.

WOW, Holly.......the bg you created is KNOCK-OUT!! Hard to believe it is not purchased DP. Love the long format, your "star" snowflake and beautiful scrunched ribbon trim.
