Christmas Lodge Merry Christmas - Just Add Ink 126

Whew!! What a hot day today.  With the humidity factor the thermometer is hovering at 41 degrees C (about 90 degrees or so).  It's just too hot to spend any time outdoors.
So, I'm spending time in my craft room, making of all things, Christmas cards.
This card was made using the sketch challenge with Just Add Ink here

The image was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink, then covered with Versa Mark ink and embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.  I'm feeling cooler just looking at the image.

Stamp: Christmas Lodge, Petite Pairs
Inks: Cherry Cobbler, Versa Mark
Papers: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Be of Good Cheer designer paper
Accessories: 2 1/2" circle punch, corner rounder punch, regal brads, Iridescent embossing powder, 1/2" cherry cobbler seam binding, 1/4" gumball green stitched taffeta ribbon, dimensionals

Christmas Eve at Christmas Lodge

I let my imagination get the best of me with this card for the Stamping 411 Saturday sketch challenge here

For the focal image I started with a piece of Whisper White card stock and covered it with a light coat of Frost White shimmer paint.
After the paint was dry, I used dotto adhesive to adhere a 1 1/4" circle to the upper right area.  I then sponged the outer edges with Island Indigo ink and the middle with  Marina Mist ink. The 1 1/4" circle was then removed and I lightly sponged some Daffodil Delight over the moon and on the sky around the moon.
The image of the lodge was then stamped so that part of the roof was over the moon.
Dazzling diamonds was then adhered to all areas of the lodge covered with snow.
Using the Day 8 stamp from 25 and counting, I stamped 2 reindeer flying over the moon.  The other reindeer hadn't arrived yet. Can't you just hear:  "On Dasher, On Dancer..."
