This card should work for these 2 challenges so I shall be adding it to both AAA cards and Double D. Following the colours shown at AAA I stenciled a panel in 2 blues and 1 purple using a homemade stencil gifted to me quite a while ago. The die for the deer is an old one that I have no label for and the sentiment and Modern oval are from Spellbinders. Once I had inked up the background I die cut the card front. Before adding the background panel, I added a few spots of water and then the sparkle spray that I am currently enamored with. Using a scrap piece of gold paper I die cut the deer and went over it with a darker ink. I added some pencil colour to the neck and hip for more definition then added it as you see. The sentiment went at the bottom after I had inked the strip the same as the purple in the background.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone is having a good day.

Pretty in the purples and blues with the steciled background. I really like the silhouette deer and the modern oval die.

Thanks Gayle. I like those new dies although I haven’t figured out how to only do a partial cut as yet. So far everything I’ve tried has cut through.

Thanks Gerry. I’m having trouble with this post. It isn’t showing properly and I’ve edited it several times to improve it but it simply doesn’t update. There are times when I dislike technology.

Thanks so much Golda. It is not really a colour scheme used at Christmas, but I look for any way I can get another holiday card done at the moment. I just finished 18 the other day. Mass produced as much as possible so a lot of stamping.
