While the Oh What Fun Tag Project Kit was out, I kept working with it and came up with this second card. I had initially planned on using the other sparkly snowflake I had left from the kit, but it wasn't working as nicely as I had thought, so I looked for other options and thought I'd handcut a deer from the Home for Christmas Designer Series paper as my main image. I framed it with a silver Metallic Doily and a punched circle of Red Glimmer Paper.
The sentiment was stamped with the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set on a die-cut tag from the same kit, and I used the little stars and snow stamp from the set to stamp my red cardstock strip.
The card background was covered with a piece of 2015-2017 In Color Designer Series Paper and to soften the look, I layered vellum on top of it. To add interest, I placed the striped mask (p. 157 of annual catalogue) at an angle, applied VersaMark ink to the vellum (taping my ink pad directly on the project) and then pourred Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss powder all over it. The resulting shimmer is subtle but definitely adds flair to the finished card. The corners of the vellum were punched using the Curvy Corner Trio Punch.
An Ice Rhinestone Embellishment was added to the red strip, and I used silver sequins from the kit in each corner. I threaded a piece of Mint Macaron lace on the tag (also from kit) and tied a Garden Green Designer button on it using Silver Cording Trim.
The design was inspired by the December Viva la Verve Sketch.
