Deer in a Row

This stamp reminded me of a Scandinavian print, and I noticed that they do a lot of repeat patterns so that is how I came up with this design of my card. I added a few dots with my white pen for a snowy background and added some border stickers in white to frame the red piece.


Stamp from Make cards Nov. 2018 magazine, embossed with white detail embossing powder
My Minds eye - O Christmas tree paper
Hot off the press - White Jewel border stickers
White gel pen

I had planned on making two of these cards, I thought I had cut the red piece the same, but after I finished stamping and embossing the second set I realized that my paper was a 1/2 an inch bigger than the first so it would not fit onto my card base, and instead of making a larger card, I went with cutting them out individually and making 3 more cards.

oh connie...these are so beautiful!! it's good to be flexible and you are certainly that!! you are right about scandinavian prints, they do repeat like that. i made a hat once, it was a scandinavian name and it was a repeat of snowflakes. i can't remember the name...i can barely remember what i had for breakfast!! hehehehe

i really like all of these colors and how they go together so well!!! i hope maybe the eye is feeling better!!

These are super cute. Happy accident = more cards.

I read on the stamp board that you solved your eye problem. Thank heavens, but what an awful ordeal. So glad you're on the mend, my friend.

Hi Connie. Oh I just love what you did with the deer! The individual deer cards are my favorites I think. Great work!

Leslie Miller said...

OMG, that's the prettiest deer stamp! You're spot on with the design on the first card, considering the Scandinavian look you were going for. The following cards are just as pretty and look how many Christmas cards you got done!
