Allsorts Challenge #805

 The current challenge at Allsorts is seasonal **Magic of the Season** with the usual option of anything goes - a lovely prize too.  For my bit of magic I turned to Lavinia stamps to build up a wintry scene and used a stag and some trees stamped using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.  Winter branches were added to partially frame the scene, stamping with black and then with white which was embossed.  There are some subtle glittery highlights on the snowy ground but they don't show up well in the picture. 

Stamps - all from Lavinia
Inks - Versafine Clair Nocturne and Elements Violet Chalk

Quick and Easy

 It's good to make quick and easy cards now and then as a break from the more intricate ones and this one was made using a Stickeroo image, a random die cut which was on my desk and also some background paper and simple sentiment.
