I'm here today to remind you that there's still time to join in the
challenge and birthday celebration at
CAS Christmas
Our host this month is Susan and here's the challenge.
I used a smooshed background piece and added die cuts that
have been sponged a bit. I tore a snowbank and put it all behind a frame.
It was so much fun and I had this extra deer die, so I did another.
I got the sentiment crooked on this one, so I had to add another snowbank. Oops!
The background was done with re-inkers and a little Frost White paint
on my craft mat and spritzed. I smooshed some cardstock around in the
paint until I was happy with the coverage.
When the light hits the background, it has a lovely shine.
We're celebrating our first birthday and we have prizes.
The Design Team and our awesome Guest Designer, Chrissie have lots of inspiration for you.
Hope you'll join us.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

So cute! And so nicely done!
Lovely background Bonnie for you wintery scene. Hope you have a great week. Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Love the unique and pretty backgrounds and love the adorable deer with his cute red nose. Wonderful scene making Bonnie and especially love the double snow bank on your second card....LOL x
Gorgeous cards, Bonnie! Your background is so pretty and I love how it sets the wintery scene for your lovely deer and cardinal!
Your background is perfect for this, Bonnie. Love the deer and the addition of the red cardinal- that pop of color. These DO look like fun to do and loved the "save" on the crooked sentiment. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one using a MISTI and still get it on there wrong.
Love the pretty backgrounds for your deer cards. The red birds are a fun touch.
both cards are perfect Bonnie, I love the blended colours on your deer and that pop of red with the bird :)
Wonderful winter scene with the deer seeming to have a chat with the bird. Beautiful smooshed background and great birch trees.
Two awesome cards Bonnie! LOVE your backgrounds and those deer dies are wonderful...love the little red gems on the noses too! Beautiful, beautiful cards my friend!! :0)
What a happy and peaceful feeling card...like maybe the deer and cardinal are having a nice chat on a beautiful winter day. Love how you pulled those 3 dies together.
Sweet deer and cardinal among the birches, Bonnie! Just love the blue snowy background!! Still hope to play along at CAS Christmas this month....
LOVE your artsy smooshed background, Bonnie. Such a beautiful sunny day that looks so cold with that icy blue sky. Your reindeer looks happy looking up at the sweet cardinal in the birch trees. Awesome that you got a twofer to build your stash of Christmas cards! xx
Now what are the chances of twin cardinals meeting twin deer and all four becoming best friends?! I love the concept of that, Bon-Bon, and I'm really loving your smooched backgrounds!! Hugs, Dolly
You've made a perfect winter sky, Bonnie, and I love those birch trees. Rudolph looks right at home there.
This is a fab sky Bonnie! I don't think you can beat a bit of smooshing!
Thanks so much for having me as GD this month!
What a great idea to mix the frost paint with re-inkers. I love that and it looks so pretty. Sweet little red bird and deer watching each other. I'm working on my deer card today.
Two beautiful winter scene cards, Bonnie. Gorgeous colours and ink smooshing. Clever snowbank coverup. Great on you to not let that extra deer cutout go to waste. xx
Rudolph is definitely intrigued by that cardinal, love the repetition of red :D
What a beautiful smooshed BG and that deer has some sensational sponging. Love the attention to detail on those critters. xxx
Both cards are so beautiful, Bonnie! I love your ink smooshed gorgeous background! Adding the frost White paint worked so well to create the wintry sky. The red cardinal pops against the white and the blue. The sponged deer looking up the cardinal is so pretty!

I simply love these two cards Bonnie, fabulous little scene with those dear deers and bright spot of red with the cardinals.
Two fabulous cards, my friend! Those Rudolphs are adorable prancing and "playing" with their bird friends. The sky is stunning! xx
