It 'Really Is' starting to look like Christmas

It's nearly 'That Time of the Year"
Only a few weeks till the most important Gentleman 
of the Year flies all over the world to the delight of
all the boys & girls!
Have you finished your Christmas Cards?
Better get crackin' if you haven't.
we give you one last chance to  
add to the few you are short of.
This month our Optional Twist for our 
Anything Goes December Christmas Challenge
is to use a Stencil. Right up my alley!
I was soooooooooooo happy with 
how this card turned out.
 I recently purchase some ArtDeco Crackle Paste 
and was anxious to try it out.
I inked my background with Tim's
Oxide inks with a touch of PearEx Powder.
(you would have seen it used Here )
 adding the crackle paste and while wet
 some Elizabeth Craft Design Cool Diamonds glitter
 then waited till it dried - Love the result!
This was backed with some snowflakes from SU.
My papers are Metallic to match as my card base
and Galaxy behind my deer.
Sentiment is unknown.

And you know that -
Our winner for this challenge will receive
 a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! 
Check out all the details HERE

Thanks for dropping in. 
Don't forget to pop over and see what my Team Mates
created and come join in the fun for our last 
Christmas Challenge of the Year.
In saying that I would like to wish you all
A Very Merry Christmas.
