Hello and welcome back to my blog, friends! For today's post, I am sharing a card I made as a Guest Designer for Doodles Paper Playground. I used my entire sample of the White Christmas Sparkle Blend in this shaker card, all except for the Santa faces and ice cubes.
So, I had saved a small treat bag that had been given to me (with treats inside, of course!) a year or so ago around the Holidays because I KNEW that I would be able to use it in my craft room. I also begged one of my friends to save theirs for me! I created a similar card last July (here) that used the other piece of this snowflake acetate on another flat shaker card. For this one, I turned it into a landscape card to fit the deer die cut better. This gorgeous deer is from the Delightful Deer set from Sizzix, designed by Lisa Jones. This die set is gorgeous! It has this deer plus 2 others in it, and all kinds of fall foliage. Anyway, I thought this leaping deer was perfect for this card, as it echoed the flying deer in the Sparkle Blend. You can see one of these better in this picture, right above the front-most leg:
In hindsight, I probably should have chosen a different gold foil cardstock than this one, as the tone is different from the little deer, but I still think this card is stunning! The Peace sentiment is from Spellbinders, and I got it as one of the freebies that the company gave out as a thank you for being a Club Member. I thought the delicate lines of this font matched the deer very well. The deer and sentiment are glued to the acetate with Bearly Art Glue, and I adhered the shaker panel to a mat of the gold cardstock with strong double-sided tape. Then everything is adhered to the card base with the same glue.
