CAS Christmas - Deer

Hello Sunday!

Hope you are having a wonderful first weekend of March!

Boy, this year is just "marching" along!  
Ok, I just had to say it, pun definitely intended! LOL

Anyway, it's time for a new monthly challenge
at
 CAS Christmas Card Challenge!

It's also our 1st Birthday, so come celebrate with us!
There are prizes so stop by the CAS Christmas blog for details!

Susan is our hostess this month 
and
she is requesting Christmas cards featuring Deer!


I wanted to use this cute little deer from Stamping Bella for this month's challenge.  I stamped him on the smooth side of watercolor paper, then used my Zigs and waterbrush to color him, add a rink and sky.  The die cut is Catherine Pooler Designs.  I cut the image out with the largest die and then cut a frame using the two largest dies and cut it from silver foil cardstock.  I added WOW Wunderlust to the "ice", shimmered his skate blades and the scarf fluff with Nuvo Shimmer pen and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to his red nose to make it shiny, even if it doesn't show up well in the picture.

Stop by the CAS Christmas Challenge blog and see all the rest of the fabulous inspiration from the CAS Christmas DT and our Guest Designer, Chrissie.  Then, come play along with us and get some CAS Christmas cards done, just make sure this month the main focus is DEER.

CAS Christmas Blessings!

You've done a wonderful job of watercoloring this fun little guy, Nance! Love how you've done the background and layered die cuts too! This is such a fun card, my friend!

Such a cute reindeer skidding along on this skates. Great colouring and a lovely sky.

Super cute!! Your reindeer made me smile, Nance. He looks a little wobbly on the skates (reminds me of myself!). :) Great design with the pretty soft sky and the beautiful shaped aperture. xx

Oh, so cute! I just colored this guy, too, but not CAS. Love all the shimmer in your scene, and the pretty winter sky.

The reindeer is so adorable, Nance! Love the contrast between the soft beautiful background and the striking black card base with the silver framing.
