This was a difficult challenge for me. I had a severe mental block. My ideas bounced from Disney's Frozen (yes, I have an 8 year old daughter) to a Christmas card. To get my project going in the right direction (which was finished), I started with the base and went from there.
Also, to get my mojo started and keep it going, I kept the current MFT Sketch Challenge in mind....
I used Bo Bunny's Altitude 6x6 paper pad for my base paper. For the challenge requirement, I used the Simon Says Stamp falling snow stencil and embossing paste on the background. Some glitter glue was added to some of the 'snow' for interest. The embossing paste was added while the patterned cardstock sheet was full size (6x6). I turned the pattern of 'snow' on it's side, so that as much of it would show as possible with the sketch. Then cut it down to 4.25 x 5.5 inches for it on the cardbase.

I did not want the beautiful background covered up. I cut a couple of layers from vellum cardstock with my Silhouette Cameo. The vellum was layered with a grey piece of cardstock from the same Bo Bunny paper pad. The pattern/color compliments the background paper, layout, and vellum.
I stamped snowflakes from the January Stamp TV Kit in Versmark on the top layer of vellum. Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins were added to the center of the Versamark snowflakes and to the bottom right of the card.
I stamped another snowflake on the stitched circle (MFT Blueprints 15) with Hero Arts Pool Ink. And before the ink was dry, I brushed some Ranger Perfect Pearl powered over it. Then finished it with another sequin.

The inside of the card was completed by stamping more snowflakes in Soft Pool shadow ink and brush with Perfect Pearls. The sentiment is from the Stamp TV kit, and was stamped using my go-to black ink.... MFT's Black Licorice Hybrid Ink
