Let it Snow

Here's another card made with that Woodware deer stamps set, this time looking very different for Stamp Something's Bling It Up Challenge and also for If The Shoe Fit's Bling It On Challenge. I've also discovered a new-to-me blog called Saturday Spotlight Challenge, their challenge this week is to make a scene. This is a variation of a card I saw in Made By You when I went there for a class. This card looks much better in real life than in the photo, I find mirror card and sparkly embossing very hard to photograph, sorry.

The idea of the card is to experiment with some quick and easy cards for Christmas. The hills are made by sponging Versamark onto navy cardstock, over torn photocopying paper hills and embossing with Silver Tinsel embossing powder. Then I've added trees, moon and deer and embossed again. The snow is made with Liquid Pearls, that have Glamour Dust scattered across while they're still wet, there's also some on top of the hills, though it's hard to see in the photo. Matted onto silver card and then more navy, sentiment added and also a couple of rhinestones in case it needed more bling :).

It's quite a quick card to make, what do you think? I think it needs something more, but then it may not be a quick and easy card any more...

  1. It's perfect as is! I wouldn't do anything else to it. You say it's quick but it sure doesn't sound quick. At least for me it wouldn't be. I overthink everything! Beautiful card Anne. Love the idea of the glitter in the liquid pearls.

  6. What a beautiful card, Anne. I really love this deer stamp. I think it's perfect as it is too. I've yet to make my pop up card, although the instructions are stuck to my craft mat, as always happens in my craft land, I got sidetracked by something else. Can't wait to have a go though.
