The North Pole?

Good morning!
Can you believe Christmas is sneaking up already?
Well, I don't know about you but I start making Christmas cards in July!!! It takes awhile to save up enough to send to all my family and friends!!
Today I've used a combination of DRS Designs stamps that you wouldn't normally think of including the toadstools and Gnomes. Starting with the Mushroom Sign and Mushroom Line. I used Merry Christmas on the sign then masking and working back to the Feeding Reindeer and Tree Home Gnome masking again then stamping the Pine Tree Snowdrifts. Masking the Pine Tree Snow Drifts I then stamp the Mountain and Tree Line Background 2 in 1. I tried adding snow to everything using a Snow Pen and glitter but the Snow Pen was a little messy and not fine enough so I have what "sort of" resembles a new dusting of snow everywhere! LOL! Oh well, lesson learned for the next time...use a different method!
My next card is a snow covered town square in the mountains.
I stamped the All in 1 Christmas Village first then masked it and stamped the Mountain and Tree Line Background and extra trees from the Christmas Village 4 in 1. I then masked the first set of mountains and stamped the mountains again "behind" the first set to create a double row of mountains.
Finally I stamped the first part of Christmas Especially To You greeting.
This time I painted on some stuff from the Snow Pen that I squeezed out onto a piece of scrap. I used a fine brush and then glittered and heat set. It was a little less messy this way!
That about does it except for matting and gluing it to a card base.
Thanks for visiting today!

Robin, these are totally fabulous scenes! Wow!!! I so want to try to do this! Amazing snow detail and fabulous coloring and combination of images. LOVE THEM! Hugz
Wow Robin, these are fantastic! Great use of the mountains & trees. Both cards are amazingly beautiful. I really like the snowy mushroom on the first. The second one is my favorite. The village looks so good with the snowy trees & mountains! Absolutely beautiful!
Oh my goodness what fantastic cards Robin! It's amazing to me what adding those mountains and trees in the background does to your beautiful scenes! Just when I think I can choose a favorite I notice something else and change my mind :)
Oh my goodness Robin I love both of these cards. Super cute scenes, great coloring and terrific images you paired together to create the scenes.
Such wonderful winter cards, Robin! I love all the sparkle on the snow & happy colors on the buildings & gnome. Super cards!
