What a wonderful Inspiration Board that my team-mate Jenn made for the challenge, pretty much covers nearly everything.
I knew I wanted to use the Forest Friends which is a Penny Black Cling and I was really pleased to find that I could fit their heads in the Simon Say Stamp Holiday Frame which I cut out twice and stuck together.
The background was also made using a Penny Black stamp Festive Florals, I used the mistletoe one.
I stamped with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder.
Then watercoloured the leaves with a very pale green, not sure the camera picked up all the colour.
The berries were made using Ranger White Opal Liquid pearls, I did think to used flat backed pearls but they overpowered my card and I wanted the deer to be the main focus.

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting

Beautiful card Debby and the stamped mistletoe looks beautiful. I would love to see one of those red birds (cardinal?) in my garden, they look amazing - we have had 3 Jays coming to the garden everyday for the last few weeks x Susan x

This is lovely Debby and the deer certainly take centre stage in the frame. The white embossed mistletoe in the background is the perfect choice and love the large die cut sentiment. x
