IT'S A MAUVE CHRISTMAS

With the dreaded Halloween season being over (dry up those tears Curt), I can now concentrate on my favourite time of the year ... CHRISTMAS.
My first card this year is for my Mother-In-Law, who loves mauve.
I have been wanting to use these Flower Soft display globes since last year when I purchased them.  I can remember when I first began to stamp (over 13 years ago),
I was really intrigued with shaker cards.  And while I did manage to create a few,
they never quite looked 'right'.  Using these

display globes combined with Spellbinder dies, the results are quite pleasing.

The one problem I did have was trying to photograph the card.  No matter what

I did, I had a reflection of light that bounced off the globe.  

Anyway, I think you will get the gist of the card from the photos below.

It's difficult to see the image but I used an image from The Stamp Barn of

a deer looking at a bright star in the sky (I highlighted the star by using a tiny 

crystal bling).  I stamped the deer with Versacolour White and then

highlighted the entire image with Pearl-Ex.  Martha Stewart carrara marble 

tinsel glitter was used as snow inside of the globe.

One card down ... only a few dozen to go!

Thanks for stopping by.
