Our stamp group in Santa Fe, called Stamperpalz, has a full year of topics that we use for exchanging ATC's and/or now greeting cards. I made a card for February. The topic this month, was Winter Wonderland. I had a little bit of a problem getting into the winter mood because our weather has been gorgeous.....warm. Not good for our water supply, nor for the fires that may come soon. Anyway, here's my card. I used a Magenta stamp, a Memory Box deer, and what worked out perfectly is the Crystal White embossing powder from Stamp A Mania....love that embossing powder. I wish you could really see how beautifully it sparkles! I embossed the background with a Cuttlebug folder and added an organza ribbon and bow.
Here's a closeup of the deer. I love deer! ;o)
Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back soon. Until next time...

As a very happy recipient of this card in the Stamperpalz trade, I can attest to how beautiful this card is. Do you know what it is like to look out on the beautiful shimmering snow on a full moon? Well this card gives you that feeling. So very beautiful. I will pick up the Crystal White embossing powder from Stamp A Mania at the Albuquerque Stamp Convention in two weeks. I am glad I only have to wait two weeks for the embossing powder. ---- Lydia
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lydia! I spoke with Mark at Stamp A Mania today and told him they'd better bring extra Crystal White embossing power to convention! :o) Hugs, Geri

Thanks, MaryAnn! Yes, it was hard getting into the winter mood, but happy with the results. Next month sounds like alot of fun too! Have a great time in AZ next weekend! Hugs, Geri
DeleteWhat a beauty! Love the frosty look and the deer! Very elegant. I wish I could send you some of the water here as we are expecting 20 inches of snow on Sunday! UGH.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Winnie! I just love deer, so had deer in mind for the card. Oh dear....no pun intended....20 inches of snow? That's too much. Good grief, we can't get any and you all get too much. Stay warm and have a safe weekend. Hugs, Geri
