When I purchased the Papertrey Ink Winter Globe set, I had several ideas for using it. And inspired by several challenges, I had time today to create a new card.
This card uses the globe and the birch trees from the Papertrey Ink set. The starry sky was die cut with a circle die and embossed with Spellbinder’s Stargazer embossing folder. The Delighful Deer are from My Favorite Things and are no longer available. The sentiment is a new purchase from The Greetery. There’s also a Pierced Frame from Papertrey, but it’s almost impossible to see despite taking multiple photos. The Midnight cardstock from Concord & 9th is beautiful, but very dark.
I added some ink blending to the deer for some dimension, and added some sparkle to the stars with a Gelly Roll Clear Star pen.
I managed to get all three of the elements from the current Just Add Ink: Choose Two (deer, trees, sparkle) Challenge in the card. It also fits The Four Seasons Challenge which has switched to Winter, and Inspired By Challenge: Reindeer, and lastly the Time Out Challlenge: Winter Holiday. It’s not often one card fits four challenges!
Wow! I love your mashup of various companies and the dark moody navy frame to set off the focal point! Kudos on meeting four challenges too.
Another wonderful card. I like the script of the Merry Christmas.
So beautifully designed and loving the navy paired with brown and white! I’m not sure I tried this color combo before but it’s so effective for Christmas cards and now I want to give it a try!
Thanks so much for the wonderful inspiration and for sharing with us at Four Seasons challenge!

So clever, Karen! My first thought was about the dimensionality (is that a word?) of the reindeer – you have great skill.
