I made this card for the Featured Stamper and the Free For All Challenges. Ardyth chose Lisa's (MaryLisaK) gallery for this week's featured stamper challenge. I loved going through Lisa's galler, and I zero'd in on this card right away, It's a White Christmas by MaryLisaK at Splitcoaststampers. I love the trees, the embossing, the deer and how clean and simple her card is too. Then Robin (stamperrobin) asked us to choose A Wonderful Moment from 2017 for the Free For All Challenge. I really had to think about this, but after I made this card I realized what it is. I have been so busy caring for my parents since February 2017 that some days I feel like I cannot even breathe. Then I will look outside and see a majestic buck emerging from the trees and somehow, everything is all right again. This card involved a lot of masking, rock and roll stamping on the trees and a lot of glitter too. I add the glitter with a zig 2-way glue pen. There is a lot of glitter on the trees, but the camera did not capture it. I also used a clear wink of stella pen on the raised embossed holly and that is really shimmery too, but does not show up. I am so thrilled with this week's FS challenge because I never would have made this card otherwise, and I love how it fits the Free For All Challenge for me too. Thanks for looking. ~Karen.
