Hi there! Today I have a Christmas card to share featuring a die cut deer which I heat embossed with embossing enamel. I'm joining along with this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge where the theme is All Creatures Great and Small:
To create the patterned background, I applied ink to an embossing folder, then sent it through my die cut machine:
I'm joining along with the following challenges:

and the November CAS Mix Up challenge: (stamping, glitter, heat embossing, dry embossing, a die cut)
Many thanks for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great weekend!
Be Sweet ;)
