Stepped Up Version

   Happy December! I just returned from a road trip to Ohio where we spent Thanksgiving and the days following, with our daughters! We had a fabulous time together - it was VERY hard to say goodbye. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving as well! Now, let's talk stamping.

When I made this card found HERE, I never, in my wildest dreams, thought it would be as popular as it was/is! All I can say is Wow, and thanks! 

   I also made a stepped up version - one with color, layers, embossing and embellishments. 
  I used torn cardstock edged with Iridescent Ice embossing powder for the snowbanks. I also added Iridescent Ice embossing powder to the tree, pine branches and the deer's footprints. I think Dazzling Diamonds Glitter would work just as well. The nice part about the embossing powder is - it stays in place!

 After I made the card, I stepped back and thought it needed something at the top so I added a tone on tone punched shape, a snowflake and a button. 

Stamps: Lovely As A Tree and Forest Friends
Paper: Almost Artichoke, Whisper White cardstock
Ink: Almost Artichoke, Soft Suede, Versamark ink pad and pen
Accessories: Iridescent Ice embossing powder, Decorative Label Punch, Big Shot, Northern Frost Decorative Strip, Button, twine, sponge

Thanks for stopping! Have a happy stamping day.

I actually like the simplier version with all the sponging. Am I allowed to say that?

Did you use a marker for the footprints before the Ir. Ice?
