We are celebrating our 1st bithday and there's a party going on with prizes.
Please check out the challenge blog for details.
I used Bokeh to make the background. I'm loving this technique after making cards for January's CAS Mix Up challenge. It makes such a beautiful background without too much effort. Love the simplicity of adding a white die-cut deer and torn white snow hill. I used Clear Wink of Stella on the top of the snow and on the deer's beautiful antlers. The sparkle is so pretty in real life, but hard to see in photos. A simple sentiment is stamped in silver to finish the card.
Here's a close-up ...
