It's also our 1st Birthday Party, so I hope you'll play along and celebrate this us!
The card above is very simple. I recently got a new embossing powder called Fractured Ice. I used it on the bottom of my tree / deer die-cut and also added some random patches in the sky with my Versamark and heat embossed with the same Fractured Ice embossing powder. The sentiment is stamped in black to pick up the specks of black in the embossing powder. Super easy and quick card. The photo doesn't do the card justice ... the embossing powder is very pretty.
Here's a close-up that shows the glitter ...
