I went digging through my snippet box and found most of the elements to make this Christmas card for the March Rudolph Day challenge. The gold foil panel was embossed with a Cuttlebug snow globe ef and the trio of MB trees was already assembled with the gold glitter paper, so I decided to put them together. I pulled some papers from a Crate Paper pad and die-cut a snowy hill with Lawn Fawn hillside dies. Whenever I have small green bits leftover, I die-cut holly leaves and toss them into a little Altoid tin. I pulled out two, covered them with green stickles and added red stickles to the 3 "berries" on top. The tiny fawns were cut with Poppy Stamps dies, and I added diamond stickles to the snowy hill border along with a few accents around the bottom of the trees. The sentiment was heat-embossed with gold on a matching strip of the cardbase color and placed between the baby fawns.
It snowed here again yesterday, but quickly melted after dumping about an inch of white stuff early in the day. Winter just isn't letting go easily this year, but hopefully today we'll have more warm sunshine for a while.
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!

What a pretty Christmas card! So much to look at on this one with the gold foil paper, those cute little deer and those beautiful trees! It all came together so nicely, Carol! I also love how you used snippets of this and that to create this card. It's stunning! TFS and enjoy the sunshine today! :)
Very pretty and sparkly Christmas card! I love your idea for die cutting those pieces for holly leaf embellishments in advance! Have a good day!
Maybe that will be the last snow of the year! I know you're hoping that's the case anyway.
Love this pretty Christmas card and all that shine. Great idea about keeping the extra pieces of holly in the tin too. Pretty, pretty card!

Love all the different patterns/ textures - glitter,wood, embossed - very special.
Fabulous card, Carol. The dies are amazing...that wee prancing fawn caught my eye. He looks so sweet frolicking with his buddy.
The gold you introduced looks fab!
Thanks for taking part in the March Rudolph Days Challenge.
Such a pretty Christmas card! Love the gold panel and those adorable little deer!
Cute card! Thanks for the tip about how you share your snippets in Altoid tins. I have several of those that I saved...waiting to find something to do with them...
This is so gorgeous and elegant looking. I love the layout and design elements you used on it. The gold foil really adds elegance to it.
Very pretty! And a good use of random this and that stuff. I really like the tiny deer.
A fabulous Christmas card Carol, a super design.

Cute, cute, and did I say cute! Love all the gold and those little deer are just darling!
Wow!! Such wonderful textures on this gorgeous card!! Your rummage has been lucky if you founded all these elements and was able to put them together! Well done! It has a lovely rustic feel with that wooden background! The embossed tin with the holly looks amazing and love those golden trees and all the shining and sparkling!!!!
How pretty! LOVE that gold embossed panel it really pops. I also like the stickles added to the holly. We had flurries only here yesterday but there is still last weeks snow left! If we hit the 60's like they say that will be gone soon!
Beautiful, love how you have put lots of different textures to make this gorgeous card.
We are supposed to have some snow this weekend, you're right Winter doesn't want to let go.

Well, this is just pure delight. How cool that you had all the 'makings' and just had to assemble them to create this pretty card. Love the glitz of the gold and it made a wonderful scenic background for those cute little deer! TFS, Hugs & Happy Easter. (I'm behind so will look at your other cards too!)
