Good Morning everyone
Ive never been so early starting my Christmas cards, but while im in the mood i shall keep going😀
Im still on my mission to put a dent in my cardstock collection so ive used pearl cardstock for my base here, it is kind of soft grey but the pearlescent is violet when the light hits it, impossible to catch in a photo...
6x6" base card. I taped down the leaf mask to the card front and inked through with distress inks cracked pistachio & evergreen bough, removed the mask and inked the edges of the card with the same inks. I then added some detail to the leaf with fine liner pen and grey alcohol marker for shadow. I then heat embossed my sentiment using a navy embossing powder. I then embossed the card with a snowfall EF.
I stamped & heat embossed the stag onto more of the same pearl card. I watercolour his antlers brown and used cosmic shimmer opal blaze on the body, this shimmers when the light hits it, impossible to catch on the camera sadly. I then cut him out, slightly curved him and added to the card front with glue gel. Stickles glitter glue to edge the leaf and card to finish.
This card is full of bling and shimmer with the pearl card, mica powder and glitter too.

Version 2 uses a different sentiment stamp which reads
'Winter - waves a magic want over the world and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful'
***
Version 3 - uses the leaf in a different position and distress inks - shaded lilac, seedless preserve & dusty concord
In this photo you can just about make out the shimmer on the stag
