Inspiration: The Paper Players #718 (Be a Deer) and Tuesday Morning Sketches # 784
I had been wanting to use the Simple Vintage Holly Jolly collection and I was pretty sure it had some vintage deer images, so it was perfect for the Paper Players challenge. Because the Tuesday Morning sketch was using an angled paper, I thought if I cut the top and bottom off rather than just overlay a piece of paper on my card, I could make two cards at the same time, so that's the strategy I went with.
I added gold-rimmed red ribbon to the seams and I die-cut two doilies two place behind my main images, both of which I picked from the cardstock stickers sheet. It felt a little bare, so I looked in the collection for other elements I could overlay. I found some rectangle words in the sticker book, so I mounted them on cardstock and cut them out in order to be able to move them around the card and decide where to layer then. The little circles also came from the sticker book.
