Monochromatic Winter Card

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's card features products from Kat Scrappiness. I created a scene with a one color scheme as theme. I chose pink to create a feminine card. The first card I created using the deer die is a masculine card, A Die Cut from Background Die Cut.

I trimmed a light pink cardstock to 5 1/4" x 4". Using a falling snow stencil, I added white embossing paste to this card panel. After I filled up all the openings of the stencil, I lifted the stencil up and set the panel aside to dry. I washed the stencil right away using soapy lukewarm water. 

I started of with planning out the scene. I pulled out patterned papers from my scraps which has mostly pink on it. I die cut one of the patterned papers using the KS Buffalo Plaid Cover die. I adhered this to a white cardstock and set it aside to dry. I die cut this plaid panel with a stitched hill border die to create a slope.

I die cut the two trees from the KS The Night Before Christmas Window Scene die set on one of the patterned papers. I later on changed my mind and die cut these trees using pink cardstock. Not wanting to put the patterned paper tree die cuts to waste, I adhered this to the back of the pink cardstock tree die cut for a bit of dimension. I am using the reverse side of one of the trees. The tree die cut is cut straight on one edge. Reversing it makes this straight edge flushed to the  other side of the front panel which balances the scene with a tree on each side of the deer. I also added snow to the trees using a Marvy Uchida Snow marker.

For the deer, I die cut this on one of the patterned papers. The deer is from the KS Reindeer Duo die set. I strategically die cut the antlers on white cardstock. After a bit of trimming of this die cut antlers, I adhered this on top of the antlers of the pink deer die cut, making sure it is aligned. 

To embellish the deer, I applied Ranger Glossy Accents to the antlers. I spread this evenly over the antlers using a foam brush. I poured Tim Holtz Distress Clear Rock Candy Glitter to the antlers giving it a sparkly look. 

I created a scarf for the deer using a pink strip of cardstock. I die cut this using the thinnest strip die from the KS Stitched Slimline Strips die set. I wrapped this around the neck of the deer and carefully created a knot. I adhered this with liquid glue and use a tweezer to keep the knot pressed while the glue dries.

I heat embossed the sentiment on the deer's body using white embossing powder. 

Putting the scene together, I adhered the trees on both sides of the pink snow panel. I adhered the plaid slope. Then, I adhered the deer. I cut off the excess.

I adhered this panel to a top folding A2 note card. The scene panel was cut smaller thus, revealing a white border around it when adhered on the white card base.

I want to acknowledge the design inspiration for my card, Meg Loven of Loven Stamps. I card-lifter her gift card holder and created my version of it.
