Christmas Deer

This is my final sample for my workshop this weekend.     I love the idea of the deer in the snow covered forest for a simple but elegant Christmas Card.    This card could easily be changed to be a Masculine Birthday card, but I don't have to tell you how versatile (and WONDERFUL) Stampin Up! products are!! :)

Stained Glass Peek-a-Boo Easel Card

I watched the attached video tutorial this morning on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts.and fell IN LOVE with this technique.  I already have a Christmas card for my upcoming workshop, so I made my sample a Thank You card and showcased a Stained Glass window.   The Electric Tea Light really gives the card a dramatic effect, don't you agree?

Thank you Dawn for all your inspiration and creativity!!
