This card is for the Technique challenge 105, Blurred Vision, and Limited Supply, 104, Scraps 'O Ribbon. It is *Guy* birthday card, for my husband's nephew, who is an environmental lawyer.
The main panel began with very pale alcohol inks on white glossy as a background. Then I stamped the *stream in the snow scene* in craft spots, using watercolor brush directly on the stamp to blur the image. I did the same thing with the cloud stamp and the grass, but didn't blur the deer or the trees. The whole panel is clear embossed several times.
I stamped the Cheesecloth background on the bashful blue panel in Encore Gold, although it is difficult to see in the scan. I rubbed gold metallic rub-ons on the *Celebrate* charm, secured it with Light Blue Organdy ribbon folded lengthwise twice, and attached with brads.
Finally, I stamped and gold embossed the *flourishes*, and popped everything up on thick Dimensionals.
Thanks to NancyRuth for her marvelous ideas for creative settings for photographing cards. Nancy, you are truly an inspiration!
Thanks for looking! Maddy

What a fabulous job you did with this card Maddie. You really added so much detail. It is just beautiful. I just love the deer scene. It looks so peaceful. Wonderful job with this card.
By the way, I was able to track down the reindeer stamp and purchase it. As soon as I get it I'm going to use your instructions and make that reindeer fly. Thanks again. linda

This is soooo gorgeous. I already added it to my favorites.
There is so much I love about this, the corners, the way you
used corragated paper, the colors, not to mention the
beautiful scene. Wow is all I can say.
