This photo captured the way the snow looks, I had to take it
on the diving board out by the pool
I received some of the most beautiful Christmas stamps in the mail the other day.
The stamped scene is Winter Walk from Serendipity stamps.
It reminds me of my great grandparents farm in Wisconsin , from many years ago.
I added Glossy Accents in just a few spots that I thought the snow would sparkle, then sprinkled with Martha Stewart glitter. It shows up in the first photo, not much in the second.
The sentiment Merry Christmas is also from Serendipity Stamps. I think it is just so
elegant with that sprig of holly. I heat embossed that.
If you only knew how many photos I took!
Thanks for stopping by. The birthday party went well and I made sure I got to hold, hug, squeeze and kiss all eleven of my wonderful grandchildren. Im really not as old as you might think! I started out very young. Smile!

Hi Marybeth, this is absolutely beautiful!! What a pretty stamp snow scene and I love you added glitter. Don't you miss the winters in Wisconsin? Well, probably not the cold, but the snow is beautiful! We did have 62 degrees today, no wind. I would also love to have your temps 80's, 90's I suppose.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Love those stamps and how you've used them. Nicola x
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! This is stunning! Love the image and the snow you added - the embossing is so rich and elegant too! I just got these... not sure how I will do them justice now!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful details!
ReplyDeleteLove the inspiration you had for this pretty card Marybeth. Can you just picture them walking through the snow to the barn or to school! Pretty snowy accents too.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you got a good hug and squeeze from each and every one of them. You old...NEVER!!!
What a beautiful winter scene! I just love the raised snow, I'm so glad you took a pic that shows it! Isn't it crazy how a picture can never do a card justice?

ReplyDeleteEleven!!! How blessed are you! And obviously you followed the Romeo and Juliet traditions of starting your family when you were 15 as you don't look old enough to be having 11 grandies!!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas cards are brilliant! (I cracked up about taking the picture of the "snow" out by the pool!)
I love how you have showcased this detailed stamp - so sweet and simple!! Perfect snow (although it seems odd to photograph snow at the pool!!)
ReplyDeleteWow. You are going to hear this a lot today Marybeth! This is such a great card, the scene looks like something from an illustrated book, love the black and red combination, that puffy snow and that embossing on the sentiment makes it pop! Great card.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is SO gorgeous! Love the glittery snow!
