My first cards of the new year. I made them at the beginning of January but I had to put the Christmas décor away and then I got sick-yuck! I am feeling much better now which sounds a little Norman Bates like:). I used wet embossing on all of them and I used the deer stamp and the Christmas birdie stamp twice but in a different way. The last one was trying to do an all gold card. The first card is traditional colours, layers cardstock, embossing in red and green tinsel dust and highlighting it with sticker borders. The 2nd card has the deer again and I found this cool metal looking paper  before Christmas and I dry embossed that with snowflakes. The 3rd card I used pale blue colours and embossed it with psychedelic dust powder and used stickers for the border. The 4th one is again in traditional colours and layers and embossed and my last one is all in gold which looks better in person than on the picture. That's all for now. I am enjoying the snowstorm...yup I guess I am weird but who cares:)
