Be Merry

Hi everyone.  I dug through my box of leftovers and found a piece of yupo with alcohol inks.  That started my card. :)

The background is alcohol inks (blue and green), cut with the circle die.  I tore a piece of white card stock to create the snowy hill for the reindeer die (Retro Reindeer - Simon Says Stamp) to stand on.  The background is embossed with Woodland folder (Stampin' Up! - retired).  A simple sentiment (Snowglobe Sentiments - MFT - retired) is stamped in Evergreen Bough distress ink to finish the card.

Close-up ...


Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

    WOW! Each element of this card is simply perfectly selected. The background is a winter forest in the middle of which there is a small hill where a deer has stopped. The alcoholic background on Yuppo's paper is amazing. I love colors! Amazing card!

    You always make clean and simple cards shine, Loll. The alcohol ink made a wonderful background for the deer and so does the embossed woods.

    Your stag is the star of your gorgeous card - but that embossing folder always make me think of seersucker, hence my mom, and summer dresses she made us when we were littles!
    Thanks for the smiles, Loll! xx

    I love the colours of that AI background Loll and the sweet reindeer looks great on his snow hill and the Woodland EF you have used in the background goes beautifully. x

    Adorable little reindeer, beautiful AI background, and a great idea to add more texture with the dry embossed card base.

    Your little deer looks so adorable against the the beautiful AI-on-yupo background, Loll! The AI's color, shine, and visual texture is just gorgeous! The woodland embossing adds wonderful texture to the white card base.
