Inspired by the Funkie Junkie 12 tags of Christmas week 11

Good morning to you! How are you? I hope you are well and that your preparations for Christmas are coming along fine. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel - woohoo - so glad!!!! I did lots of wrapping yesterday - so now it will be just the last minute things - brilliant!

I've got a card to show you today that has lots of glitter and sparkle on it - I made it for the thefunkiejunkie challenge-12-tags-of-christmas - week 11 sponsored by the thefunkiejunkie Boutique.  Linda's original tag can be found by following the link - I've been inspired by the colours, the deer, the snowflakes and the sparkle not forgetting the sheet music! This tag of Linda's is my favourite so far - gorgeous work Linda!




I started with the card blank and coloured it with distress inks then ran it through a musical notes embossing folder from Crafters Companion. The diecut trees and snowflakes (also Crafters Companion) were cut next and the deer (TH). Then I brayered the deer with antique bronze sparkle medium from Imagination Crafts and the trees with diamond sparkle medium from Imagination crafts and left to dry.  I stamped the Sheena douglass sentiment in versamark and heat set with brass regular wow powders. Once everything was dry I assembled the card.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
