It's time for another new monthly challenge here at House of Cards! I decided to go with the embossing and the colors. It was so fun with my new Misti, I colored my stamp with watercolor markers and then topped it off with Versamark ink and embossed with holographic embossing powder to mimic a snowy look.
We held a design team call last month and have added to our numbers so that we can bring you more inspiration each month! The new gals are listed below with an asterisk by their name, so make sure you visit their blogs and see their fabulous designs!


A beautiful birthday card - and I think I know someone who will be having a birthday in January. Love the scene you created and the deer die are perfect.

Hello, Donna! This is gorgeous! I love the cabin stamp! Sounds like you are loving your MISTI! Got one for my birthday in October and I don't know how I stamped without it before - I love mine too! But back to your card... I really like the die-cut deer - such a nice detail! You did great with the inspiration photo!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this card! It is beautiful. I love the holographic snow and the die cuts are perfect. Great job coloring, will be great for a winter birthday.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, just saw this on SnS challenge, and thought I'd commented, but since I don't see it, here I go: Love the way you've interpreted the inspiration colors, with the neutral colors on this great card. Could be for either gender, and is so evocative of a cold winter day. Really like the way you've placed the scene with the deer grazing outside the perimeter. #2 just sparkles with the 'falling snow' and is just so icy in the feel of this cabin scene. Very versatile image & you've used it beautifully on both cards. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Great technique to create such a lovely scene. Thank you for sharing with Sparkle N Sprinkle Creative Challenge
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, thanks for your message. Happy to be with you in COH. Beautiful and charming card. Regards. Paula.
