Gracie has asked us to make a Christmas card with an animal on it.
Bonnie wants us to use a retro stamp. Mine is a wood mount from 2009.
This week's Colors: Real Red, Garden Green, Silver
For this Christmas card, I started by stamping LAAT, stamping-off several of them. I added Dasher in suede, but when I didn't get good results, I stamped over him 5 times and now it looks like I used espresso. In the end I'm happy.
I added the sentiment from AYC then framed it in red. Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

Ah, Roberta! Another truly wonderful card! I love the multi-toned trees; they add such depth to the scene. Love Dasher, especially the bow around his neck, love the framing and greeting font! Lovely!

What could be more perfect with these classic colors than this classic tree image. How many Christmas cards has this delicately needled tree adorned? I know I have used it. I love how your elegant greeting and deer bring it all together.

This is beautiful GF. I might case this one! I really like the depth of your forest. Dasher looks good. Great combo of challenges. I guess I didn't realize we could combine DTGD.

This is such a beautiful, classic Christmas card! And I especially love that you've combined three of my all-time favorite stamps to create this lovely scene! I love Dasher's tiny silver bow : )
