Welcome to day 2 of the belated 7th STAMPlorations birthday celebrations.
Today I've gone all wintery with my inspiration design.
Here's a card made with one of the new slimline stencils Trees.
For the background, I first added some black Brusho over the stencil which I laid on some scrap paper resting on a large acrylic block. I then misted it with water and took a print with some scrap paper, lifted off the stencil, flipped it over and laid it over a panel of watercolour paper, taking it away quickly to avoid the liquid Brusho from seeping under the stencil and blurring the trees too much.
Whilst waiting for it to dry, I die cut three of the Leaping Deer from black, brown and white card, gluing them together so that the brown was in the middle and a tiny bit of each of the darker colours was visible.
Once dry, I cut my panel down to size and added a torn snow drift stamped with the Season's Greetings from Christmas Bell Medley and added the whole to a DL base card. I placed my deer over the background and added some extra sparkly snow amongst the trees with some Stickles.
Why not check out the rest of the STAMPgirls here and join in the fun.

V is for Vixen, other reindeer are OK too!
Oh my gosh, the background looks SO COOL. I like how it is watercolorish. I am going to try that.
