Celebrate the Season

Here's my card for the current challenge at CAS(e) this Sketch.  I went with a holiday themed design using stamps from Papertrey Ink.

I stamped one of the long snowflake border images from the retired Rustic Snowflakes set in white pigment ink along the length of a light blue cardstock panel, then heat embossed the image in white.  To highlight the embossing, I gently rubbed two shades of blue distress ink over the embossed images.  The panel was matted on silver cardstock then adhered to a teal card base.  For the sentiment, I stamped the "celebrate the season" sentiment from the Holiday Tree stamp set in white on a teal banner strip and heat embossed the text.  After folding the end for interest, I adhered it to the cardfront using foam tape for dimension.  A trio of white matte enamel dots were arranged around the banner to accent the sentiment and mirror the dots scattered throughout the snowflake border image.
