Week 12 - Heart of Christmas

 





Can you believe it we are already half way through our Heart of Christmas series for this year! That can only mean 1 thing! Yes you guessed it! Christmas is not very far away, dare I say only 96 days away! Ok now erase that from your panic stricken mind and let's have some fun with this week's Heart of Christmas Blog Hop.

I decided because we were panic stricken to go with the Peaceful Deer so we could all be nice and calm and peaceful!

So for my card today I have combined a few different elements to create this card and placed it all on a base of Evening Evergreen.

I first Gold heat embossed the deer and punched them out with the Deer Builder Punch. For the 2 outside deer I coloured with my Stampin' Blends. I used the Ivory, Light and Dark Crumb Cake for them. The background paper is from the Sale-A-Bration brochure is the Peaceful Prints and I have embossed that with the Bark 3D embossing folder.

Behind the deer I have cut out some more of the Peaceful Prints DSP with the Hippo & Friends Dies and stamped the trees from the Peaceful Deer stamp set in Soft Succulents and Evening Evergreen and put that through the Bark 3D embossing folder and fussy cut them out before adhering to the label and popping the deer up on dimensionals. The sentiment is heat embossed in gold and I have used the die from the Harvest Die set as it has the similar shaped end as the label I have cut our for the deer to be on.

Ooh, I love the look of that birch-patterned paper embossed with the Bark embossing folder, Sharon! All of the Evening Evergreen elements look beautiful, combined with the soft, clean, neutrals. Lovely card. x

Kate Morgan said...

I love your trio of deer, Sharon. The patterned paper embossed with the Bark 3D folder adds wonderful texture. Those tags behind the deer are pretty cool too, but please don't remind me how little time we have left until Christmas!!!

A lovely peaceful and calm card Sharon, just lovely.
The way you have laid down the beautiful Evening Evergreen ribbon makes me think of the reins on Santa’s sleigh.
