Java Merry Christmas ~ Christmas Deer Stencil ~ A Colorful Life Designs

 Hello there crafty friend!
Today I'm so excited to share a fun holiday card as a guest designer for A Colorful Life Designs. I am just smitten with the amazing selection of stencils over at A Colorful Life Designs. So many options and for every occasion!! I was so happy to be asked to guest design for them this month. Before we get to my card, please use code Crystal10 for 10% OFF your order over at A Colorful Life Designs and tell them Crystal sent you over!


Now, on to my card... featuring the adorable and sweet Christmas Deer Stencil. I have seen a bunch of cards using the sweet Christmas Deer Stencil it was an absolute MUST HAVE for my stencil collection!! You all know I love making Christmas cards!! 


I blended Mowed Lawn and Forest Moss Distress Oxide inks over the trees and Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide inks over the deer. I die cut a post it note using a small circle die to mask the deer and used the negative as well for blending the deer. You can see what I mean in my process video below.


I stamped the sweet Latte Santa and sentiments from Unity and colored up Santa with the following Copic markers:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04
Mustache / Beard: C00, C1, C3
Hat: C00, C1, C3, YG11, G24, G46
Shirt: YG11, G24, G46, R20, R14, R46
Pants: R20, R14, R46, E21, E23, E25
Mug: R20, R14, R46, E21, E23, E25

The stenciled background was die cut using the Scallops & Rectangles Nesting Dies from Unity. The sentiment was die cut using the Banner Nesting Dies, also from Unity, but out of stock. And the sentiment inside the card {down below} was also die cut using the Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies from Unity.


I absolutely love this sentiment and had to use it for the inside of the card. And how sweet is that little deer in the corner?! Love it!
