I started with an embossed background using SSS's Filigree Snowflakes embossing folder. Next I embossed the Folk Snowflake image in silver and then used the coordinating stencils in shades of blue and purple. After die cutting the snowflake, I cut it in half and then did the same thing with another white embossed snowflake (on vellum). I offset the two layers a bit and then added them to my embossed card base on the top left and bottom right hand sides.
I embossed my sentiment in black on a vellum strip (PB's feeling of christmas) and wrapped it around the middle of my card, and then finished with a few purple and clear gems from PFS.
