ADDICTED TO STAMPS AND MORE #505 - DIE CUTS/STENCILS



Welcome back to another challenge at ATSM - die cuts and or stencils.  I've been in Christmas mode for a while now - it's my favourite season to make for and I don't seem to be able to stop once I start so it's another Christmas offering from me.  I used the moon mask stencil from Lavinia Stamps to start off with.  I love these sticky stencils - I find them great to use.  I stuck it to my watercolour paper then used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire a touch of Dusty Concord and Black Soot.  I added a Tim Holtz dot stencil over the top and used some Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture paste through the dots.

I used a very old stamp and die cut set from Tim Holtz for the trees. The stag is from Tim's die cut set Darling Deer and I cut him out twice and layered him to give him more depth.  I coloured him in with Distress Inks and layered some more Cosmic Shimmer at the bottom.  The sentiment is from one of Tim's Ideaology Christmas books.
