SC505 -- Christmas Snowflake

I wanted to try making a Christmas card using today's sketch. It took me some extra time!

I changed the square format into the A2 size -- 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. The "Merry Christmas" stamp was from Hero Arts. After stamping and embossing the greeting, I made a mask using the SU extra large oval punch, covered the greeting and then stamped the background using Our Daily Bread Designs "Snowflake Background" stamp with Memento Gray Flannel ink. I used a snowflake embossing folder for layer # 2. The snowflakes were punched from Stampin' Up's sliver Glimmer Paper using a Martha Stewart snowflake punch.
