I kept to a traditional colour combo of red, green and cream and you'll see I stayed faithful to the sketch layout. I die cut four pieces of patterned paper, glued them to a Real Red square and glued that to the front of a 5" x 7" cream card base. I die cut an Old Olive fancy circle and glued that to a Real Red plain circle. I stamped and die cut the snowflake, popped that up and popped up the red circle. I stamped the large sentiment and completed the card front by adding some red metal nailheads.
I decorated the inside with a sentiment circle, patterned paper and a popped up snowflake.
I covered the envelope flap with the striped paper and added a snowflake circle element.
