Today's card is a Masculine Christmas Card...
This is my first Christmas card of the year,
I used a stencil for the Stag's head, inked through it and then fussy cut it,
as I don't have the die cut.
I layered and heated a few lime/citron embossing powders and clear UTEE for the Stag.
and then hi-lighting the texture with liquid gold leaf...
The die cut sentiment and the snowflakes have also been achieved
by layering many different embossing powders and heating.
I have used a die cut square to frame the elements and edged in liquid gold leaf to finish.
I am now obsessed with layering embossing powders
and using my pancake maker for constant heat.
It's so much fun and the results are super shiny and unique
and a great way to use up all my stashed away embossing powders....
Challenges I would love to enter.....

Mac, your card is so stunning and I just love the bright green color and black contrast you've done here! Never would've thought to use a stencil in that way! I just love the textures and dimension on this! Beautifully done my friend! HUGS
Wow, fantastic masculine Christmas card, Mac! Your lime/citron stag looks awesome against the black tissue background panel edged with liquid gold. This is like a treasure box of the gorgeous layered embossing powder pieces! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas! Hideko xx

This is STUNNING, Mac! LOVE the bright green stags head ... gorgeous colour, shine, and thickness. Looks amazing over your black and gold tissue paper background ... love it edged in more gold. And the sentiment die-cut and snowflakes are more of the encrusted jewel goodness. :) Amazing techniques that all work together into one incredible masculine Christmas card. Thanks for sharing at CAS Christmas! xx
Mac I'm in awe of your embossed images. All the elements of this card shout masculine and such a perfect layout, I love the black lime green and gold. Thanks for sharing this with CAS Christmas :)
Very well done masculine card, Mac! Thanks for joining us this week at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge. Marsha DT
Did you hear my jaw drop?! Fabulous work--so creative & beautiful!
Oh Mac what a great card - love the vibrant stag's head against the gold and black!! it makes for an incredibly dramatic card!
Blessings

Caught a glimpse of this card when I was enjoying your fabulous tree cards. This one is equally amazing. I'm really liking the 'lime look' of the stag's head against that black and gold. The stag looks like a piece of lime jade! Such dimension, it looked quite like a molded piece. The black tissue edged with the gold is stunning as a background. The tissue and the EP layering is something I've yet to try. You are doing some marvelous looks with it. The peace sentiment looks so dimensional also, and like a piece of metal that's been shaped to your card. I like the shades of color on the snowflakes too. Just so artistic! TFS
But an amazing men's card design. I love the combination of black and gold, it looks so elegant. And the green silhouette of a deer makes the card come alive. Great men's Christmas card

OMGoodness you have created the most stunning out of this world unique Christmas card I have ever seen M. Truly it has such WOW factors. The black card stock, the frame with bits of gold and that bright stag is a masterpiece. I loooooooooooove what you did with the peace sentiment. Can't stop looking at it!
And yet another amazing card - LOVE that green stag - what die cut did you use? I have been looking for a big stag die....still have to try that embossing powder layering technique one of those days....
