Sparkle and Shine with Deer in Tree Die

It's time already for a new theme at Allsorts challenge. Mervi is hosting this week and she would like to see "Sparkle and/ or Shine". Our prize this week is a beautiful A4 sized Rare Earth stamp set called Afternoon Tea, so hopefully you will join us for your chance to win!

I made another CAS Christmas card with a beautiful die as the focal point. This is Penny Black's Deer in Tree die released a few years ago. 


A very simple card to make, I inked the Bristol Smooth card stock with Everygreen Bough Distress Oxide ink, flicked some white spatter onto the card using a  white Posca pen then stamped Penny Black's Christmas Story stamp on the bottom third of the card using the same ink before adding the die cut. I used gold card stock to cut it out.
