A Deer family in a Winter Forest

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I am trying to sort out lots of things. Then on Thursday I have my regular trip to Winchester. I do love this and I get to see the Christmas market which I think is one of the best around.

Last week when I was there I treated myself to some dies in the pre Black Friday sales. I was very keen to play with them. The first thing I made was the card in my previous post. Then I decided to make something a bit simpler.


I have lots of off cuts of white card left over from making wedding invitations this year. They are just the right size to fit the Branched birch die. I inked through the die to make patches darker then I removed the die and lightly inked the trees. I had some navy card to cut the snow for the background. 


I found some craft card in my stash of bits and cut the deer from it. I added a bit of ink to them. 


The snowflake border was cut in white. 


I used the same navy card as the snowy background to cut the sentiment. 


I am very pleased with my new dies. They even encouraged me to get my inks out which I haven't done for a long time. 

Happy Crafting 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

It's always great when you find a new product that is totally inspiring and encourages you to be creative, Jackie. Your little winter scene is gorgeous, love the birch background and I'm glad to read that it fits perfectly with all the invitation off-cuts. The deer family are beautiful too.
Cheers,

Great purchase, Jackie! I was good and refrained from buying, and don't even feel withdrawals! LOL so I guess that's a good thing. You say this is a simple card, but gosh! I thought just the opposite with all the inky layers or GORGEOUS COLORS! Love this amazing creation - truly beautiful! hugs, de

Wonderful card Jackie - oddly enough, one of the Christmas Draw prizes is quite similar - trees and deer! Great minds and all that.
