Holiday Cheer

Good Morning.

I had some time to play and make a few extra cards to have on hand so of course, I dragged out my Distress Oxide inks and got down to inking.

For those of you that may have missed my little pictorial about how I did what I called 'Acetate inking' then go here!  It is very easy to do and you can place the ink wherever you want it to go.

I began by inking up my acetate sheet with DOX 's in blues, sprayed with water and pressed onto my card front.  I dried it using my heat tool then laid a piece of drywall tape across the front and stenciled through that.  

I stamped the circles to the side to add interest to the overall design, then I die-cut the deer head in black.  I doodled in some lines around the area where I wanted to put the deer then pop-dot mounted it over the doodles.  I added some black gems then stamped the sentiment from Paper Smooches.

The big day is almost here....are you ready??

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
