Holiday Backgrounds - Cover Plate Dies

I'm back again with another card inspired by the lessons at MerryMaking. 

This time we were encouraged to combine a Cover Plate Die 
and a sponged background for an easy and quick card. 

I had the brand new unused Reverse Confetti Big Stripes Cover Die just waiting to add some pizzazz to today's card. 

I sponged Distress Inks for the background and added images from the Friends for all Seasons Winter stamps from W Plus9. Distress Markers and Wink of Stella provided the color and sparkle for these images.

I added stamped snowflakes to the balloon, and die cut flakes for embellishments. 

That's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Holiday Backgrounds BOKEH

Hi!
I hope you're doing well on this Monday afternoon. 
I woke up with a sense of anticipation as today is the beginning of the Online Card Class, Merry Making.  Couldn't wait to get a head start on my Christmas card making and have fun getting new ideas at the same time. 

The theme today is backgrounds. I tried out Kristina's excellent technique on this card. 

Most of my supplies will be listed below. I spattered my background with a few dots of white acrylic paint for added detail. To repeat the element of gold in the sentiment, I also used gold foil paper to die cut a classy bow tie for the deer.
