Winter Deer

Hi, everyone!  Happy 2019!  Here is my first card of the year.  I'm starting early to meet my goal of making at least two holiday cards a month.  One down, one to go!  Here I did some stamping, heat-embossing, dry-embossing, die-cutting, and fussy-cutting!

Stamps:  Deer (Paperbabe Stamps Reindeer Fusion), tree (STAMPlorations Trendy Christmas Trees), snowflakes (Paperbabe Stamps Peaceful Flurries)
Ink:  Versamark, Your Next Stamp Holly Berry Red, Ranger Archival Emerald Green
Dies:  Sentiment (STAMPlorations Warm Winter Wishes Phrase Die - CUTplorations - I trimmed off the two smaller words), tags (My Creative Time, My Favorite Things)
Ribbon:  DL.ART White as Snow
Embossing folder:  Darice Snowflake Background
Other:  Ranger white embossing powder, white snowflake sequin added to bow

I was inspired by the inspiration graphic at Paperbabe Stamps Challenge 89:



I was also inspired by the All About Winter theme at STAMPlorations TAGplorations January challenge, although I did not use the optional texture paste.  Here's the graphic:



Also joining a brand-new monthly challenge at ITD Creative Playground!  The theme is Anything Goes with any vendor's stamps/images:
