The sketch for SC208 is such a versatile one, Roxie. Thanks very much. I turned it to vertical in order to create a Hanukkah card for a dear friend...I am hoping it flies on wings to arrive before the last candle is lit on the eighth day.
I used a Stampington & CO. image which I inked with VersaMark and embossed with clear on shimmery silver paper. I cut the points of the Star of David out to reveal the beautiful seafoam blue of the Brazzill paper. The word Hanukkah was stamped on GP white cs and embossed with platinum ep. I trimmed it close with scissors and placed on top of my main image. I added a blue suede and platinum cord trim to the bottom. The middle panel is the shimmer silver which I stamped CHF aged sheet music with Adirondack stream ink. The cardbase is the seafoam Brazzill which was bugged with the Allegro ef and embossed with the platinum.
Thanks for having a look and I appreciate every word in your comments!

Ohh that is just gorgeous and so thoughtful Susan!! Very creatively done - I just love that bazzil paper - it is my mainstay in papers as well! So many colours - and a good price too!! I love how cut out the triangles to form the Star of David!! The gold embossing is so lovely too!!
It is always special to remember to wish people the appropriate well wishes over what to some of us is the Christmas season!! Merry Christmas Susan - but to my next door neighbours - Happy Hanukkah!
