New releases at Doodle Pantry today and I chose to use the two fawn images from the "Small Deer" set shown right below my card.
While I didn't happen to use any of the fabulous papers or sentiments, they are included with the set and it also has the outline images, which I did use. I printed and colored my two fawns (somewhat darker than those in the set but I tried to get the same shading) and then fussy cut them and adhered them to a parchment paper background, overlapping them just slightly. I added the coloring for the sky and the snow, and used white gel ink for the snowflakes in the sky.
My papers and the mat for the image (all corner punched) came from Basic Grey and have been in my stash for at least last year, maybe longer, so don't ask me which stack. The two larger snowflakes are punched from foam and then glitter is added. The smallest snowflake is punched from acetate (I punched 3 of them and glued them together then added a gemstone brad) and I drew with silver gel ink on the top one.
The sentiment is also from my stash, something I did last year and didn't use. It was heat embossed in red on special embossing acetate (which doesn't wrinkle up under heat), then outlined with gold paint pen. I fussy cut it and adhered it with clear, super sticky, double-sided tape. Pretty CAS design, considering what I often do with Christmas cards. :-D
