Mojo Monday 109

Happy Monday!!! Time to take off to a new week and I'm starting it with a " ". Go figure...hehe. Anyway, this weeks sketch is easy again but I had to deviate a little. I got to use my new "Dasher" stamp and it really looked gorgeous on the card. I had to emphasize the pretty image by cropping a second piece as a second dimension. I also got to use my stripped ribbon and it just sealed the whole ensemble. You also may notice that I dazzled it up on the antlers to give that magic sparkle. I hope you like it!
