A Special Christmas CUTplorations Release Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome to a 

Special CUTplorations Christmas Release

and Blog Hop.

I had so much fun with a few of the fabulous new
Christmas Dies below that I landed up making three cards.

Aren't They GORGEOUS!

As this is a long post I will give you a quick rundown
on how I made these cards.
Card #1 The background was simply made by adding
cyan and lavender pearl pigment powder
to gel medium and layering it with a brush.
The deer and sentiment is cut from gold paper.
Added a gold frame and attached to white card base.
Card #2 was fiddly as I as I adhered silver flakes
to my die cut deer. Won't do that again in a hurry.
The background was from my bits box
and leftovers from smashing metallic paint
and a touch of Iridescent Medium
Added my sentiment and adhered to card base.
Card #3 I stenciled my background
and distressed the edges. The deer was cut from red card stock
and inked with Hero Art Unicorn Pigment Ink and popped.
Added a few die cut snowflakes and
part of the new Christmas Die.
Finished with sequins and gems and adhered to card base.
