A Woodland Christmas Greeting by Jennifer Jackson

Merry Christmas!

Hello! Jen here today with a lovely Christmas card with a woodsy feel! Perfect for the nature lover!

To create this card I started by stamping the image of the deer wearing the holiday wreath from our Festive Fawns Stamp Set. I colored the image with copic markers and then cut it out using the coordinating Festive Fawns Die Set

Next, I created a scene for the little deer to sit in. I used our Evergreens Stencil with brown ink over a kraft colored cardstock to create a fun tone on tone forest of trees. I then used our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut the tree panel and give it that nice stitched edge with rounded corners.  I then cut out a snowy hill using our Land Borders Die Set with white cardstock. I cut it again with the same stitched rectangle from  the Frames & Flags Die Set so I could line up the stitched edging. Doesn't this make a cozy scene for the deer to sit in?

I added the sentiment "Merry Christmas" from the Sentiments of the Season Stamp Set along the top of the scene. Then I added created a panel with a fun red pattern using our Houndstooth Stencil with brown ink over a red cardstock piece. This really adds to the fun and festive feeling. The finishing touch is a piece of green twine to match the wreath!
