Dasher – in Soft Suede

Hi Everyone.  Welcome to Jaydee's Stampin' Up! SU stamping space.

Today's card is yet another Dasher card… how many times can I use Dasher – and in how many different colors.  I used the Christmas Cocoa designer series paper.  The soft suede and whisper white give a soft, dreamy color scheme that reminds me of hot cocoa on a cold night.  Which… it is here today!

How did I deal with Dasher?

1. I used Versamark on Dasher.  I stamped onto a precut circle (using my circle scissor plus and my stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement).
2. I then used both gold embossing powder (use your embossing buddy for easy cleanup on the paper) for Dasher.   THEN…. I used Iridescent Ice embossing powder on the antlers.  I carefully applied the iridescent ice and then the gold embossing powder on Dasher's body.
3. The stars in the antlers are echoed in the paper and the iridescent ice and the snowflakes seem to fit together!
4. Then… for something completely different, I used half pearls from my Pretties Kit for embellishments

I had fun making this card.  I'd had this idea in mind for a while – but today's Mojo Monday 107 challenge sketch seemed the ideal time to use it.  I cut a circle using the DSP and then used my big shot and my scallop circle die to give a third layer to Dasher.  Here's a close-up of the antlers and how fabulous the gold embossing powder looks.

As always, thank you for spending time in my little area of the stamping blogosphere.  Your visits – and comments are always very much appreciated.

Have a fabulous day.

Peace

Jaydee
