Christmas Wishes

I love this stylish reindeer stamp and always think it looks better stamped in black than any other colour.  It's also not too fussy so is great for male cards too.

Using my MISTI I placed the die on top of the card and then laid the reindeer and sentiment into the square.  I removed the die and stamped the image and sentiment several times to ensure a good dense black colour.  I then die cut and embossed the square.  This panel was layered onto a slightly larger square of black card before being attached to the centre of the card blank.


To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white hammer card blank
     Hot off the Press 'Reindeer' stamps (these had been a cover gift with a magazine ages ago)
     Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' die
     Kars tan embossing mat
     Versafine Onyx Black ink
     Matt black card and white hammer card

 I am entering the following challenges:
     52 Christmas Card Throwdown - Black & White
     Alphabet Challenge - M for Masculine          
     Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes

    Very elegant with the black border behind the image. What a bonus the Misti has been for being able to over stamp multiple times. Hugs Mrs A.
