The rubber stamp is called Winter Homestead, and I heat-embossed it in gold (Zing Gold - Glitter Finish). To add snowfall, I used embossing paste and Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil. The gold border is a peel-off from Crafty Secrets, but I don't believe they sell these any longer. The sentiment is an older wood-mounted rubber stamp from Plaid and I heat-embossed it in the same gold.
It's hard to photograph the sparkle, but this one shows it a bit better:
I was inspired once again by the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches - they are having a 200th sketch celebration:
I was also inspired by these fun challenges:
