I saw the Freshly Made Sketch #366 earlier this morning and had to sit down and make a card with it.
I started with a vanilla card base, and used my paper crimper along with a snippet of kraft card to make the image panel. I sponged the edges and front with inks until I liked the colors, then distressed the edges, adding a die-cut panel of snowy ground done with a Lawn Fawn stitched hillside die, and covered it with Diamond Stickles for some sparkle. The tree was die-cut with a SU! Perfect Pines framelit die and covered with tiny gold Geo Sparkler stickers. The star was also cut with a framelit die from the perfect pines and mirror gold. The deer is called "Leaping Deer" from Memory Box and was cut from chocolate chip card. I took a tiny snippet of sparkly gold card and die-cut a Lawn Fawn stitched snowflake, adding a large gold Geo Sparkler to the center. The sentiment is by SU! and was done in chocolate chip ink.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Dies R Us Challenge #110 - Snowflakes
Double D Challenge - Run Run Rudolph - use a deer image
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope your day is fantastic!
