Oh, where to start---LOL---had like 4 or 5 ideas and could not make up my mind, so I wrote each idea down on paper mixed up and drew one and said this is the one will be doing. Have dark blue card base that is white inside, then white that I put down mask for the moon. Stamped the trees, sponged the blues here and there darker around edges but not to the bottom, left it white. Then used versa mark on same tree stamps but stamped it off set a tad then use white eb powder and heat set. Used snow dot stamp for snow here and there, then put down dabs of tombow glue and sprinkled on sliver glitter. For the snow dabbed on snowtex, by Aleenes then while still moist sprinkled on sparkle white glitter. Stamped Santa, sleigh and deer, and sentiment. Inside has snowflakes stamped. Really sparkles IRL and is pretty with the glitz. Loved your story!

Oh my goodness DonnaJeanne this is such an amazing snowy scene you have created. I chuckled at how you decided on the design!! Thank you for all the details, it never occurred to me to offset the image using Versamark and EP. Everything about this is gorgeous, pinned and faved my friend. Thank you for bringing snow to Whykickamoocow.

Gorgeous card -- and a great example of the offset stamping with your snowy trees.
I have to admire your creativity -- I don't think I've ever had such a wealth of ideas that I had to pick one out of a hat. Glad this one came about because it's a fab card.

This is beautiful te textures on steroids. The snow looks so real and I love how the falling snow turned out. Perfect snow scene for your Santa's sleigh.

Your sponging round the trees is amazing and gives such a realistic snowy moonlit feeling. I try to make sure that people don't send to the same destination two months in a row - a shame, I'd have been thrilled to receive this.
