Festive Friday Christmas Deer All Dressed Up

 Well, here we are nearly at the end of October! Hello and hope you're all well. It's FriYay and time for a new Outlawz Festive Friday Challenge, sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps. This is the challenge where we give you 4-5 different themes to choose from for the project you're linking and you can enter as many different projects as you like. The last challenge of every month always includes an Anything Goes category and every challenge includes Christmas. I played regularly before I joined the team, it can be a great motivator for making cards. This challenge begins today 10/29 and runs until 11/11.
I used ADU Christmas Deer image on my challenge design sample and I colored it with Promarkers, accenting the head garland with Sakura metallic glitter pen. I chose The Paper Studio's Rustic Noel 6x6 designer paper collection because they had sheets of deer paper and the colors are pretty, rich deep traditional greens and reds. The green mats are SU card stock and the tan card base is Making Memories.
Here are the challenge themes to use from. Mine is Christmas. Click HERE for more info on how to join in the fun!
 
I used Splitcoaststampers Sketch SC190 for my design, resizing to 6x6". I can see myself using this sketch again, as it works very well for 6x6" collection papers
The green frame mat under the focal center is a Spellbinders doily die cut out of the SU card. The focal image circle was also cut with a Spellbinders die. The Crafters Companion sentiment was stamped with Green Oasis Versafine Clair ink.
On the inside, I used a Sweet n Sassy stamp for the sentiment and also the silhouette image stamped with Desert Sand Memento ink. 
The back is another sheet of the Rustic Noel and a Kaiserkraft siggie stamped direct to page.

And a final view. Thanks so much for visiting and until next time, stay well and keep crafting! XOX

This is so beautiful! I love the coloring on the deer. It has an almost rustic look to it. Love how the back of the card is finished, too.

Aimeslee this is a lovely card and I agree your card sketch is perfect for 6x6 cards and paper pads. You can use the same combo of papers to do 2 cards as well saving you time on another card :)

Thank you very much for entering your lovely card into our challenge. Good luck with the prize draw.

Stay healthy, happy, keep crafting and Creating Joy :)
