Reindeer flight

We have some fabulous new large dies in the shop that cut your base card for you

I have used presscut stepper die #1 for this card.

You get the base die and then scalloped dies for the matting and layering.

I do like dies that save you from measuring and scoring.

To decorate the card I have used Birch tree with birds die

The reindeer is a Tim holtz die called Reindeer flight and I used a stamp called 

Christmas story (by penny black)  to stamp on it with archival coffee ink.

The Merry Christmas is a presscut die that I have diecut in white card and then glittered.
I have also used chunky white frantage to create a snowy effect.

Merry Christmas

Today I have a Christmas card because that time of the year is starting to get nearer.

I am just loving this tree die by Impression obsession at the moment called

Birch tree with birds 

The tree is actually three separate dies so you can use as much as you like

 and the birds are separate too, I think it will be in a lot of my cards this year.

For my card I have used the largest die-namics stitched rectangle frame and cut in white card.

 I have used the piece from the centre of the frame to create a background with

 distress inks and a blending tool.

To create the snow look I have sprinkled chunky white embossing enamel over it

and then heated with a heat gun from underneath the card.

If you heat on the top you stand a chance of blowing all the embossing powder off.

The Merry Christmas is a die by presscut and was cut in white card,

I then used versamark and stamp and bond to make it sticky,so that I could add glitter to it.

Distress inks I have used are-

Tumbled glass, peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon and blueprint sketch
