Hi, Vladka here!

I have another  Christmas card for you, this time with beautiful elegant Deer. So, let's take closer look to how I created it.




Basics:

Kraft cardstock for the card base: 4 1/4 x 6 inches (cut 4 1/4 x 12 inches, fold in half)
Additional piece of white and kraft cardstock and red cardstock for die cuts

Other Supplies:

CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below
Distress Ink:  Aged Mahogany, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Gathered Twigs, Brushed Corduroy
Other: Scissors, Paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, Scor-buddy, White watercolor in tube, piece of  dish sponge

1. First prepare the card base and use the biggest Cross-Stitched rectangle die and cut the rectangle out of white and kraft cardstock. With the scissors, cut of the white snow hill.


2. Put some white watercolor on the piece of dish sponge and drag gentle over the rectangle and card base. You can do the same later also on all die cuts.


3. Cut the Elegant Deer out of white cardstock and color it with brown distress ink.


4. Cut the Holly and Beries out of white cardstock and color ot with green distress ink. Cut also greeting out of red cardstock. You can apply some white paint also on these pieces.

Cut the Holiday Bell and Berries out of red cardstock and Holly and Merry Christmas Ribbon out of white cardstock.



Color the Holly leaves with differnet green ink and use blending tool for that. Distress the edges with darker green distress ink. Curl the edges of all the leaves.


Distress also the edges of Holiday Bell and Berries with Aged Mahogany distress ink.


Cut off the ribbon part of the Merry Christmas Ribbon die cut and use just Merry Christmas part:
