Christmas stag

 Isn't this stag's head stamp gorgeous, with the winter scene embedded into it? 


It's from an NBUS set that came with last month's Creative Stamping magazine. I stamped it with brown ink, sponged a lighter brown around the edges and added just a hint of colour to the moon, door and windows, then fussy cut it. 

The sentiment I used was also from the NBUS set. For the background, I sponged blue ink  over the top half of the card then stamped the trees - also from a magazine set, but from several years ago, so they are my "something old" - repeatedly across the card. I finished everything with stickles to add some subtle sparkle. 

I am sharing this with
