Prancing Deer

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by.


I may be way off base with this, but when I saw this sketch at the
Jingle Belles challenge, I saw antlers.

So I went with that.

Hopefully I'm not too far off base.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

He is a magnificent deer, Bonnie. I really like the Tall Pines e/f as the background and your take on the sketch is great!

What a wonderful take on that challenge. I admit, it did remind me of antlers too. Love the embossing folder you used behind the deer and love the use of the ribbon, something we all have way too much of. Wonderful card, Bonnie!

That large die cut deer is just perfect Bonnie, and what a great dry embossed background and love the sentiment border with pretty added ribbon. x

You're not off base at all, Bonnie. That stag is perfect for the sketch and very stately too.
