North Woods Christmas Deer

Good Saturday morning.  My project today was made for the Splitcoaststampers Free For All to create a project with a Polaroid type frame.  I couldn’t resist one more woodsy snowy deer scene.  I love the Impression Obsession Small Deer set and Fir Tree Border and they are both small enough to work in a small frame.  Here’s what I came up with. 

I created my double matted frame frame using two Spellbinders Classic Squares.

I cut the tree border and then used the negative to sponge in some trees in the background to create depth.  I sponged the tree border with green ink to make them match perfectly to the background trees. I layered the trees in front of the sponged trees, attached to the base and covered with a white snow layer.

I attached the frame over the scene and attached the deer in place in place with mounting tape. I added the gingham multi loop bow to add one more country Christmas touch.

I’ve made so many deer projects this holiday season but I enjoy them so much.  Snowy nature scenes make me happy and gives me wonderful memories of growing up in the country. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great weekend.

  3. I love all of the deer cards. As far as I am concerned you cannot make too many. I have had a fascination with deer this year too. I have lots and lots of them cut out. Now, if I could just get some cards made.
