Winter Deer

Hi there,

Today I have a card for the Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog. I decided to go with a sparkly monochromatic look this month. 

I began with stamping the large Penny Black Snowy Grove stamp in Hybrid Ink Metro Grey on glossy white cardstock. I used my stamp positioner for this since it is such a big stamp and it required a couple of applications of ink.

The three deer were cut out from the Sizzix Winter Deer die cut, which was cut from Black cardstock.

The Memory Box Merry Christmas die was cut from white cardstock covered in 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.

I cut out the "Merry" and "Christmas" from black cardstock and placed them in their spots before covering the snow bank with Twinkling Clouds Flocking. 

I used the Sakura Glue Pen with Starfire glitter to fill in the snow particles on the background. This glue dries clear.

A piece of Bakers Twine was strung around the top of the card before I mounted the front panel to a grey card base.

I hope you can see the sparkly snow on the background panel. It's so twinkly in real life.

Below are the products that I used in my card today, some of which can be found over on the Sparkle N Sprinkle website:
