Friends and Family 34

Hi there! I hope you had a great weekend! Today I have a mixed media style Christmas card to share:

I combined a variety of my favorite products and techniques to create this card. 

The doe was die cut using a Sizzix Tim Holtz die, painted with Distress Paint then dusted with Distress Glitter. The background was created using a piece of water color paper, painted with Gesso, then I applied texture and design using a Heidi Swapp stencil along with texture paste. Once the background was dry, I randomly applied embossing ink followed with embossing powder and heat creating a winter wonderland like background:

I stamped a sentiment from a PTI stamp set using Ranger Adirondack Ink, trimmed to size then inked the edges with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink:
