One week left to join in the "Chipboard and Metal" challenge at Frilly and Funkie! Marjie chose the challenge theme and she says anything goes as long as your project includes both chipboard and metal. So are you ready for this??? My chipboard deer is from a recycled box of Special K. In the spirit of Christmas and CC2C #29, Linda has us at page 64, of Tim's book, "Texture Fades" techniques.
After I cut out my sweet little deer from the Special K cereal box, I cut out a couple more shapes in black to use as a highlight. I ran a pen line of Spica Black Glitter along all white areas for a little pop. His eye is Black Stickles and I covered the black brads as well. The tree was silver and I covered that in a green glitter embossing mix. The white snowflake was covered in embossing ink and white embossing powder. The embossed background, I followed (mostly) the steps on page, 64. For my inking, I wanted a more candy cane kind of thing. After I was done, I wanted a bit more white on my raised areas and inked over that with clear embossing ink and then white embossed. This is one time that I like when embossing powder lands where you don't want it, kind of gives a little snowy feel!

This is just stunning!
This is stunning, Terry. The white really pops and I love the muse token on the deer. I am never short of low calorie cereal boxes so I must recyle them,

Have a great Wednesday!
wow this has such fab colourings Terry, totally love it and of course your recycled deer is terrific. xx
Your Special K deer is yummy!!! Love the bright colors...so festive! Fab texture too!!! A very joyful filled card!
Great re-cycling. Although I don't own a die-cutting machine (yep, it's the truth!) I am always re-cycling packaging as it is too good to waste.
Stunning tag with lovely energy to it.

What a cute deer and he pops beautifully from your gorgeous candy cane background. Love this.
We are now in Lanzarote where it got warm yesterday afternoon but very chilly at night. Looking forward to having a quiet break though, but will miss my crafting.
Hope you and Steve are well.
