BSS MONDAY IDEA - DEER IN BLACK AND WHITE

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

Today's card is a black and white Christmas card, featuring a new beautiful

die cut Prancing Deer, by Sizzix.

I love traditional Christmas colors for cards, but this deer
just begged to be done in silhouette, so I decided to make
a black and white Christmas card.

Stamp - Sentiment - Just Rite Clear Set - CR-03780, 

Antique Christmas Tags 1

Deer Die - Alterations by Sizzix

Oval Dies - Spellbinders

Berry Sprigs die-A cute Above IME-092

Fir Tree Branch punch and flower punch - Martha Stewart

Black card front was embossed with Darice Snowflakes

Center oval was embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots

Flower centers are black pearls from Queen and Co.

Deer was stamped all over with Verasmark clear in ink

then covered with black sparkly embossing powder and

heated. (You could also cut him from black glitter paper)

Berry springs were done the same way with WOW white

glittery embossing powder.

Frantage Chunky white embossing enamel in two corners on

black background (hint:  heat from underneath or it will

blow off the paper when you try to do it from the top).

I did this deer on a card in traditional Christmas colors last week on

my blog.

Which one is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great week.
