Hello!!! Popping in with a card that I made for a few challenges... Freshly Made Sketches and Merry Monday Christmas challenge. The current Merry Monday challenge is to make a masculine Christmas card and yes... I went with a image of stag! I pulled out my Essentials by Ellen Prize Stag die and cut him from some beautiful shimmery copper cardstock. The plaid paper is from a Tim Holtz 8x8 pad of paper I purchased last year (and never used!!) called Yuletide and was die cut with a Reverse Confetti die. The papers in this pad are gorgeous and I really must use them again and soon!! I stamped the starburst image from the Essentials by Ellen Merry & Bright set in olive ink on the paper. I die cut a thin fishtail banner using an MFT die and then stamped it with a sentiment from Merry & Bright using a dark brown ink. The other end was then fishtailed using the same die. I adhered the plaid piece to my kraft cardstock panel, added the stag and the banner and then stamped Christmas below using the same dark brown ink. A nice simple card perfect for a guy! I'm also going to add this to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes. 
Hope you have a wonderful day...
Supplies: Cardstock: SU! River Rock, PTI kraft; Tim Holtz patterned paper; Stamps: Essentials by Ellen, Reverse Confetti, MFT and AJVD; Inks: SU!
