When I saw the Freshly Made Sketch #217, I knew it would be perfect to use the last gold snowflake from my Oh What Fun Tag Project Kit. Since the snowflake is covered with gold glitter, I also thought I could use the Create with Connie and Mary colour combo (#386) as well. The card base was created out of Thick Whisper White cardstock for sturdiness and clear-embossed with the snowflake from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set. The Softly Falling embossing folder was used on the center white panel, which I matted with a piece of Black Glimmer Paper (currently offered at a reduced price during the Year-End Clearance by Stampin' Up!).
The sentiment was created with the Christmas Greetings Thinlits dies out of Gold Glimmer Paper and I inked part of a sentiment from the Oh What Fun stamp set with Basic Black Archival ink (covering the part I did not want inked with a post-it note).

Such a lovely way to show off that beautiful snowflake. I love your sentiment placement with the main word just like on the sketch - and the remainder off to the side. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
