Deck the Halls with Inky Paws 2020 Blog Hop!

happy friday!
today, I'm so excited to participate in Newton's Nook Designs' Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop!

this is one of my favorite blog hops of the year!
be sure to hop around to all the stops for the BEST chances to win! there are some AMAZING special guests, and it's going to be FUN!

for my card, I used the super cute and winter-magic-y Nutcracker Squeak stamp set!

I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! I think the mice are just soooo sweet and the Nutcracker is one of my favorite things about the holiday season!

next, I die cut out the background with both the Slimline Frames & Portholes and Slimline Frames & Windows die sets! I used the squares and ink blended them with Evergreen Bough, Cracked Pistachio and a tiny bit of Mermaid Lagoon to darken the top in Distress Oxide Inks!
then I attached them evenly across the scalloped panel, and then used the Snowfall Stencil and some glittery embossing paste to add to the magic and whimsy!

then I placed the Music Stencil on my card base and used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to add some subtle texture to the background.

then I heat embossed the sentiment in black onto vellum and fussy cut out around it.
