My card combines dies from my stash and some of the new Tim Holtz Christmas papers and Festive Funkie dies. I've always loved this prancing deer and was so glad to have an excuse to use him playing in the snow!
I started off inking a panel with Distress Oxides in Faded Jeans and Black Soot then lightly spritzing with water. Then stamped snowflakes in Faded Jeans and white embossed a few snowflakes.
Since this is one of what I hope will be many Christmas cards, I die cut a bunch of festive greens for about an hour! Then die cut prancer here, covered him in white acrylic paint and dusted with fine white glitter.
I die cut the word JOY three times and stacked them to give the word some extra depth and die cut the small poinsettia and edged with some fine white glitter.
Then layered the blue panel atop a panel of red stripes and fixed the whole thing to a dusty blue card and voila! My first Christmas card for 2018!
