This week's Featured Stamper is Dagmar (aka gutsport56). Her fabulous Gallery is imbued with mixed-media art. Those words -- mixed-media and art -- intimidate me so I was surprised at how many tabs I had opened by the time I finished browsing her Gallery. She has several beautiful cards with snowflakes and I just got some new snowflake dies. Here's the card I finally settled on to CASE: TLC859 Merry Christmas by gutsport56 at Splitcoaststampers
I changed the colors in the bg to blues and die cut my snowflakes (because I just got new snowflake dies!) instead of embossing. I exchanged her sweet snow day scene which has a tree with a tree line. Dagmar used polish on her card for sheen and I backed my panel with glitter paper for sheen.
Congratulations Dagmar, your Gallery is fabulous, I have no clue how you create those beautiful mixed-media pieces but you inspire me to look at my supplies differently and to step out and try new things. Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration and I hope you enjoy all the cards your work has inspired this week. And, I hope everyone is having a beautiful, glittery day too. TFL.

I love the way your blue bg turned out, Debbie, so icy & frosty; perfect for a Christmas card! Your snowy white trees add to the cold chilly air. Beautiful creation~

Love this icy blue and white used for this Christmas design! This is one of my favorite of all the challenges because it is so nice to have such wonderful inspiration we find in the galleries of the featured stampers. Your card adds another great holiday card to your stash!

Debbie I love that you used the cutout snowflakes and backed them with glimmer. I am sure you will use the die cuts to make another card. Such a lovely winter scene!
