March CAS Christmas Challenge--Deer

It's my first time playing along with CAS Christmas Challenge, prompted by
my blogging friend, Hideko. I love CAS designs and when I was going through my
stash of die cuts, I found an old Maggie Holmes stag to use for the challenge.
Yes, it's a pink stag.

If I remember correctly, I gold embossed a Hero Arts stamp, then added a

quick watercolor wash over it. I die cut an extra stag and adhered it to the
colored one for some dimension.

 The stag's head was adhered to a white card base and finished off with

the gold embossed sentiment and thin white frame. I thought about adding

some small gold sequins but I wanted to keep it as CAS as possible, and I think
there's enough bling on the card as it is.
 

The best part about entering a Christmas challenge? You get a jump start

on this year's Christmas cards. Thanks for stopping by today!
