Stampin' Up! Snow Swirled and I create an Elegant Christmas Card

Hi guys, I'm back again with a Christmas Card to show you :)
This is a Basic Grey card base which has been layered with Island Indigo and piece of foil patterned paper from KaiserCraft. I then stamped the tree image from Snow Swirled on to a piece of white card in Island Indigo, and popped some rhinestones on top. The ribbon is actually Stampin' Up!'s Very Vanilla Seam Binding which I coloured using a little bit of silver Smooch Spritz. The sentiment is from the retired hostess set, The Best is Yet to Be. 
I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I have to be honest, I don't quite understand what they mean by clean cards, but no one has said anything about my cards not fitting the bill, so I'll continue to enter... If someone could clarify, that'd be awesome :) The second challenge I'm entering this into is the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger, I used the colours as inspiration, as well as the damask pattern on the dress... 
Well, that's all from me... Now, it's bed time...
Good night, and Happy Stamping!

    This is fantastic and I love how fresh the colors feel with this set! Your use of the sketch is perfect! As for the clean look...you do have it down. Clean lines, not overly "fussy" or weighed down with too many extras but still full of lovely details (ie, not simple). Translated...your card.
