It has snowed here in Ohio, not sure how many inches but I know its enough. At 4 am this morning my husband and son went out to plow and salt local businesses so therefore I was up....well what do you do at 4 am? You go to your craft room and make cards. Just as I did this morning. "oh and you need something hot to drink".
When putting this card together it turned out totally different then I thought it was going to be, it has made me half nauseated, it looks very busy...but yes that is the way I like my cards. This one will make the person who receives it look twice. In keeping the the "dizzy" theme, I made the "Merry Christmas" look blurry also...just for charm...The inside I used some spellbinders dies and the little leaves cuttlebug die from Stampin Up.
the outside I used the Mitten stamps from Gina K, along with the spellbinders dies that goes with them. I used Stampin Up cardstock, along with Gina K. I always use Gina K as the base for my cards, it is very heavy and works great for a card. The photo is of the front is of our house, I wanted to send more of those for Christmas Cards. The greeting and the sentiment stamps is a set from Stampin Up. I edged the papers with Aspargus ink from Stampin Up. Inking the edges of the papers seems to add a bit of depth and it makes them look more vintage. On the outside I used the topnote for the middle embellishment of paper. I stamped the white with snowflake stamps from Stampin Up with aspargus ink.

This is gorgeous! I love the photo. It doesn't make me dizzy either!LOL:). I gotta admire that you were creating this at 4am. I am usually too catatonic to do anything other than drink coffee then!
