Here's my first Christmas card of the year. The ornament is gold-embossed on a white snippet, die-cut and placed on a scalloped oval die-cut from a gold foil snippet. The sentiment is also gold-embossed on a snippet, and I used a thematically coordinating patterned paper. For the base, I started with black but it was too stark and gloomy, so I cut it to include a slight reveal of white card stock. (Sentiment is from Stamp Simply and the ornament is probably All-Night Media. It's an old wood-mounted one, anyway.)
I did use a sketch for this, but I'm not sure where it originated, so I can't give credit.

Great card Sandy - I do love how the patterned paper echoes the stamped image as well.
