Deer Ornament

Hello, everybody!  I'm back again today to share another holiday card!  As mentioned, I'm getting a headstart on next year's cards!


I love this gorgeous ornament die-cut, but I do not know the name or manufacturer as I received it from a friend (thank you!).  The background was made with various Distress Oxides on watercolour paper using the ink-smooshing technique.  I added a bow made with White as Snow crinkle ribbon from DL.ART. The embossing folder is Die'sire Embossalicious Let it Snow, and for the sentiment, I die-cut the word from a scrap of my Distress Oxide background with Recollections Christmas Words.  Lastly I embellished the card with lots of snowflake sequins and gems.

I was inspired by the Cut it Up Holiday Tic-Tac-Toe board.  I went with Ornament, Embossing (Dry), and Gems.

I also have that ornament die and love it too. Beautiful background, it's nice to have them on hand, it's just as easy to do a bunch as it is for one. Great use of the embossing folder and embellishemnts.

Love the scene that you created inside the ornament frame. Good idea to start on next year's Christmas cards while you are still in the spirit. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Let It Snow’ challenge! Good Luck
