Today I'm sharing my idea for a Christmas card created with the Dashing Deer Bundle. Paired with Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper & Copper Foil, it's oh-so-elegant!
I'm entering this card in the Fab Friday 147 Sketch Challenge. Here's the sketch that inspired my card:

I used Gray Granite for the card base. It's a wonderful neutral shade of gray that complements most colors. This and Crumb Cake are my go-to colors for neutrals. The red on this card is Cherry Cobbler, a dark, rich shade of red. I cut the Cherry Cobbler mat at 3" x 4-3/4" (slightly smaller than usual) to show off more of the beautiful gray card base. The banner is 1-1/2" x 3", flagged at one end with the Triple Banner Punch.
The oval is stamped with Gray Granite & Cherry Cobbler. "Season's Greetings" is from the Wishing You Well stamp set. The deer is die-cut from Copper Foil. I attached a few twists of Copper Metallic Thread to the back of the deer using a mini glue dot before adhering the deer to the card front with a few drops of Liquid Multipurpose Glue - only on the large, solid areas of the body. I used a rolled-up mini glue dot behind the antlers to keep them from lifting up
The images and sentiments in this set are so pretty - I'm sure I'll be getting some good mileage from this bundle!
SO elegant!The papers and font just look gorgeous together, and that deer die-cut is stunning. Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
