My old friends over at The Paper Players are playing with a theme challenge from LeAnne - "Be a Deer" and I thought I would like to join them in the fun. I have only one item in my stash with a deer and I dragged him out for the first time this season, although he has been a mainstay of my collection of winter/holiday creatures for several years. I love deer and it's actually quite an amazement that I don't have any others in my stash anywhere.
I'm really partial to square format cards, so square it is! Since my little deer is whimsical I wanted to use papers and shapes that were less realistic than LeAnne's lovely blue and white image. I opted for a very old light blue polka dot paper from my stash, die cut it, and attached it to a white 5-1/2" square card base. I selected a darkish blue and turquoise polka dot card stocks to die cut with Tim Holtz's "Forest Shadows". I layered these on the lighter blue and then added a couple of layers of white edge-stitched snow drifts and an Impression Obsession sentiment and attached my little deer.

You had me with the polka dot sky and trees! Your little deer is adorable too. Cute card, Fran!
ReplyDeleteOh, Fran! As a polka dot AND deer fan, your card is a delight to behold! The polka dots work well with this amazing whimsical deer die cut. I love the trees and the snow. You knocked it out of the park, my friend! Thank you for sharing with The Paper Players this week!
