Snow Place Like Home
Ready to cool off? Today I'd like to share this snowy scene using new stamps and dies from Memory Box's Merry & Bright Collection. What a nice change from our current heat wave, wouldn't you say?
This vignette is waaay different than my hometown scenery--we don't get snow or deer unless we head up to Julian or the Cuyamacas. I envy those who live in neighborhoods like this.
This snowy scene is brought to you by...
Winter Cabin Landscape #98709
Precious Snowflakes #98729
Deer Family D1962
Snow Place Like Home B1935
Walking Winter Wonderland (snowflake) B1960
This card measures 5.5 x 5.5 beginning with a crimson folded note card, then white and dove grey layers cut progressively smaller by 1/8".
I added translucent glitter to the bare trees and rooftop for snow and embossed the small snowflakes with white embossing powder on the grey panel. On a small white scrap, stamp the deer family, emboss the snowflakes and sponge navy blue ink from the edges toward the center. I like this effect as it seems to highlight the baby deer and the embossed snowflakes resist ink.
The blue snowflakes in the upper corner are raised and bejeweled. I had to cut off the bow and string in order to fit on this card but take a look at the coordinating tag showing off those delicate bows.
All that's left is to add the sentiment in a festive red ink!

I like the winter cabin landscape as well. I like the use of ink resist to make the deer stand out. Nice card!

I don't usually think about Christmas this time of year - but really love all the news dies and stamps - it's making me want to create something Christmassy!

Any card with snowflakes is a hit! Love this card and tag. I also am finding the red and grey very charming for the holidays. I have the deer family die from 2 years ago, and love the news deer stamp.
