This Holiday Card features my 2 favorite stamp sets from the new 2018 Holiday catalog from Stampin' Up!, Winter Woods and Dashing Deer.   I used Coastal Cabana and Balmy Blue for the background stamping and several shades of green for the trees.  This is an A7 size card.

-Tranquil Tide  Bottom Base Mat:  (6-3/4"  x 4-3/4" )
-Whisper White Top Mat:   (6-1/2"  x 4-1/2" )

Directions:
--Cut the top and bottom mats to size per list.
--Stamp the Trees on the card (one at a time) as shown using the Stamparatus. (I used markers to color the stamp in various greens and continued adding colors until I got a dimensional look that I liked).
--Use Sponge Daubers to color the background on the Whisper White mat.  (First I colored the whole mat with the Coastal Cabana, then I used a hand torn mask and Smoky Slate ink to make the lines in the bottom half.  Next I used Balmy Blue ink on the upper section for the sky.)
--
Stamp the 2 deer from Dashing Deer & the sentiment from Winter Woods in Soft Suede ink.
--Give the card a few minutes to completely dry & then spray the whole card with Shimmer Spray.
--Attach White Mat to Tranquil Tide Bottom Mat & then both to the Card Base using tape runner.
