I used another piece of patterned paper from the same pad for the background. It looks so good with the red plaid. Tore a piece of white card stock to create a snow hill and stamped the sentiment (Christmas Sentiments - Penny Black) in Candied Apple distress ink.
Fun and simple card to make!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun design ....... I love your plaid reindeer. The pretty natural paper in the background really makes them pop!
ReplyDeleteBonnie enables me a lot too Loll, so you're not alone!! I have these MFT dies too but never thought of doing them in plaid...but I LOVE it!! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs, Marcia :0)
ReplyDeleteI just love how you've used the plaid! Very fun deer dies, great sentiment, and cool cork-looking background paper!
ReplyDeleteThese reindeer is so adorable, especially with the red & brown plaid, Loll! I was wondering how you made the wonderful textured background, and I was surprised to know it was another piece of patterned paper! You have a great eye for choosing the paper!
