Oh Deer...

Hi everyone!

Crafting a Christmas card every week isn't easy, especially when the holidays have just passed. 

But that's what 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is for! No matter what colors, sketches, themes or techniques, you can always find inspiration there!   So, on to a new one! - This week it's a theme.

Masculine

Do you kow people they buy design paper because they like it sooo much, and then they don't want to use it because it's just too pretty? - I am one of them!  Hahaha

But for some themes, I just can't get past it, no matter how beautiful the paper is! Today's theme is one of them!

I cut a large sheet of designer paper into 6 pieces, which makes just the right size for cards. I adhered two strips of washi tape on a blank card. I cut one of the designer paper panels to the appropriate size and sponged the edges with Black Soot (Distress Oxide). To soften the transition to the black washi tape, I applied a little more color to the right edge of the panel. I then stamped the fir, bunny and sentiment, embossed half of the sentiment, cut it in two and added it. The die for the reindeer is from Dixi Crafts.

Have Fun!
