Another fabulous day of inspiration in the Online Card Classes Insider course.
The card shared by Laura Bassen was the starting point for my card. I simplified the design considerably by using a background stamp for the inside.
This card was extremely difficult to photograph for a multitude of reasons, not least of which was the acetate panel. On to the details – I die cut a glitter cardstock panel with an MFT snow slope die. Trust me, that front panel glitters. 🙂 The snow slope was adhered to an acetate panel. I added a gold metallic cardstock Poppystamps die cut deer for some visual interest on the front.
The inside was stamped with Memento Toffee Crunch on kraft cardstock using the Hero Arts Tree Trunks background stamp. I then stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts’ Winter Wishes set with Versamark and embossed it with WOW gold powder.
I can see using this idea of an acetate panel in lots of ways. I’d like to try this same design again with different colors, such as white trees on a blue background.
This is so lovely. A wonderful take on Laura’s card. I love the trees peeking out from the snow bank!
Great card, love how the layers create the scene. Great interpretation of the card shown in class!! 🙂
gorgeous card!
Wow Jean!! I love your card, seeing the forest through the acetate is such a cool effect…. brilliant :0)

Lovely card. Colours just seem to give a serene and calming feel.
Jean, I just love your beautiful card! So glad to see you again!
Gorgeous Card!!!
This is such a stunning card, Jean! I love how the deer appears as though he’s looking into the woods! Your composition is just perfect!
As always, your card is beautiful. I love the deer on the snow. Working with acetate is a new technique. But maybe the next class they have should be how to photograph these beautiful creations!
Beautiful card!!!
Great take on Laura’s method. I think you did a great job with what must have been very difficult photos!
Hi Jean, I love the inside trees that show through the front. Wonderful colours as well. Great job!
Man, I would love some cool weather. Cute card and I hear ya on the difficult to photo issue
