Christmas Card Multiples - Dasher

Hi there

Sorry it's been a while since my last post.  I've been concentrating on getting my Christmas cards made, written and posted over the last couple of weeks.

Yet again, I left them far too late but I'm now in a position to start sharing them with you so here are the first of my multiple makes this year.

For these one layer cards I used a Stampin' Up wooden stamp I bought second-hand a few years ago...

I used some pale purple card bases here and began by masking off the bottom half and blending up from the centre with purple ink.  With the mask still in place I next stamped the stag image in dark purple ink and, once dry, I blended through a stencil with white ink to create snow.

To finish I stamped the sentiment from a retired stamp set just below the masked line and then added some silver glazed gems to the stag's antlers.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Stampin' Up - Dasher; Clearly Besotted - Signature Christmas 
• Ink: Distress Ink - Dusty Concord; Altenew - Andromeda; Hero Arts - Unicorn; Versafine - Onyx Black
• Stencil: Clearly Besotted - Snowy Day
• Gemstones from stash
