Merry Christmas Deer Scene

I live in an area where  we see deer almost every day.  I love to create cards with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Reindeer die set.  You have probably noticed that I love this die set, because I use it so much!    It is a great die set to use alone or in combination with a lot of other die sets.  It is a great die set to create Christmas/Winter cards, but can also be used for many other types of cards.

This is a 6-inch square card.  There are many layers to create this card.

Use a piece of white card stock 5 3/4 inches square to create the cloud background.  Use the Earth & Sky Stencil to sponge blue ink around the cloud stencil.  This only needs to be sponged about half way down.  Attach this piece to the front of the card.

Use the A Way With Words Merry Christmas die set and die cut the sentiment using metallic silver card stock.  Attach to the upper right corner of the card.

Use the CountryScapes Mountains die set and die cut the three different mountain  layers.  Color the trees and attach each layer under the sentiment.  These die cuts are going to give a lot of depth to this scene.

Use the Reindeer die set and die cut four snow banks.  Attach each one to the front of the card, alternating the snow mounds.  You want different layers of snow to tuck the pine trees in.

Use the Reindeer die set and die cut 5 pine trees, using white Soft Finish Cardstock.  Color with markers.  Tuck the trees down in the snowbanks.  Use dimensional tape behind the four trees in the foreground and the back tree can be glued to the card.

Use the Reindeer die set and die cut both reindeer.  Color and attach the jumping reindeer behind the pine tree on the left.  Use dimensional tape.   Color and attach the other reindeer near the bottom of the card, as shown.

This type of card is great to use when you need a masculine card.
