Holiday Card Series 2016 - Holiday Deer

Hello there!

This card is one of my favorite so far! Mixing all these products from different brands was fun, I really really really enjoyed making it!

I first started by creating a snowy background on some craft cardstock using a stencil from Simon Says Stamp and white embossing paste, die cutting an oval shape into some woodgrain cardstock and three forest archways from some white cardstock that I glued together to add some dimension.

Then I created my cute little deer. I thought I wouldn't get a perfect stamping as it was kind of difficult to line the different layering up but it is the kind of situation where the Misti tool is a miracle!

I gold heat embossed my sentiment on vellum, glued the forest archway, attached my sentiment behind the woodgrain cardstock that I attached using double sided foam tape.

I fussy cut the deer, stamped some flowers and leaves that I cut using the coordinating dies, and glued all these pieces using foam squares and glue dots. I added pearls to the center of the flowers, and a bunch of gold sequins to finish the card.
