I have been a little behind with posting my Christmas cards. I did make quite a few this year, but time slipped away from me and I didn't get them posted as planned. This card was created for my friend Veronica using the beautiful Penny Black leaping deer image.
On a piece of Shimmery White paper, cut from a Spellbinders Large Classic Square, I stamped the image in VersaMark and embossed it with gold embossing powder and a heat gun. Believe was stamped in Blushing Bride and embossed with clear embossing powder. I cut a piece of Brushed Gold paper using the Lacey Square #5 die and mounted everything to a white linen card. A bow was made from 7/8" musical ribbon.
Merry Christmas was stamped in VersaMark and also embossed in gold. A few snowflakes were added in Blushing Bride with iridescent ice. I went for the simple and elegant look.
Thank you for stopping to visit me. I hope 2013 brings you much joy and happiness! Don't forget to enter my giveaway for a charming heart necklace.

I love it! A very sophisticated take on the Christmas card. I love the deer theme at Christmas.
What a lovely CAS card. I am always impressed by this stamp but I'm never quite sure how to use it as I think it looks best in a simple style and I do so struggle to be clean! Lovely work! Oh and thank you for following me, Donna. Happy New Year! Hugs, Lesley
