Good Wednesday morning. I have another “guy” Christmas tag to share with you today. I just love the Impression Obsession Small Deer set and they pair perfectly in a scene with the Fir Trees. I couldn’t resist adding a few birds from the Memory Box Flying Birds set.
I started by cutting and crimping the trees and attached them to the tag base. I painted several spots on the tree with a bit of white watercolor paint to add a bit of snow. I cut the deer using white cardstock and applied brown ink using a mini applicator. I cut the birds and lightly applied gray ink using a mini applicator.
I cut and crimped the snowy ground piece and attached it to the tag with mounting tape. I attached both deer with mounting tape for another layer of dimension and attached the rolled glue dots.
Here’s a side view to show the dimension. It’s a tiny little scene but I think it is so fun for a nature guy.
Check out my blog candy post here for a chance to win Susan Tierney Cockburn’s Poinsettia and Conservatory Window.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.
