Happy Monday, peeps! I hope you had a good weekend! I have a Chistmas card to share today; I used up a lot of my stash last December, so I need to build it up again! The 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge this week is "masculine":
I wanted to use a deer on my card, so I pulled out the Christmas Silhouettes die and stamp set from Sweet and Sassy and went to work:
I mounted my deer on a twig wreath from Cottage Wreaths, along with some greenery and a Real Red bow. In hindsight I think I should have left off the greenery, but I had already glued it on, so I let it ride! I used the Wintery embossing folder on the white panel and matted it with Evening Evergreen. The background paper is some retired Warmth & Cheer DSP. Finally, a few red enamel "berries" finished off the wreath:
I stamped a sentiment from the same set, adding a few holly sprigs, and diecut it with an Ornate Frames die:
And here's the inside:
Thanks for visiting today!

Such a pretty card, LeAnne! Love that DSP and looks amazing with your deer! I also love the wreath under him and the embossed panel! Great card and what a way to rebuild your stash! Have a super day and a great week ahead! Oh and Ranger is the cutest! I love his markings!
ReplyDeleteI adore your card. That package was not one of my favorite DSP's but I really like the way you used it here. Doesn't Ranger know he's supposed to be the one in the dog bed? LOL! and the staring contest between the black angus is precious. Have a blessed President's Day.
ReplyDeleteYou and your Christmas cards throughout the year amaze me! This is very nice. Okay, the little guy in Ranger's bed and Ranger beside him is the best! LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you hand-knitted your card base, LeAnne! Such a great way to jumpstart your masculine design with this handsome scripty buck!
ReplyDeleteI hope you catch Ranger 'on point' some day - it's quite a sight to see!

This is wonderful mix of patterns and texture! Pretty card, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteActually I like the greenery! The first thing I noticed was the dimension of that wreath with the twigs and the greens! It's all gorgeous - so many wonderful details!
ReplyDeleteVery classic Christmas card! Love the colours that you pick and the greenery looks perfect to finish your maculine Christmas card. Ooh and the background paper is gorgeous and I love your idea of Christmas card. Thank you for joining us at 52CCT.
