I've die cut this Delightful Deer (retired MFT-sorry) from a snippet of Neenah,
and colored him with Copics.
The background is Birch Tree Window from SSS die cut from Neenah
and colored with watercolor pencils. I've placed it on a piece
of mixed media colored wet on wet with some Distress inks and a retired Stampin' Up ink.
The snowdrifts are die cut and some shadowing added with watercolor pencils.

Sipping coffee and thinking I want a design with a nature theme to add to my Christmas card stash...popped onto your blog and there it is! I have the things to make a similar card but gonna add those magic Bonnie touches...the cardinal, snow banks, chunky frantage...and best of all, that perfect sentiment. Thank you for the inspiration and CASE.
This is my backyard scene ...except for the cardinal we have blue jays ;-)
I love all the dimension and your beautiful copic colouring. Sublime xx
What a super cute card, love the design layout and the adorable deer and the lone little bird x.
I love any scene with trees but a wintery one like this with a glimpse of gorgeous colour is stunning. So beautifully designed, Bonnie.
A really beautiful card.

What a serene scene with the reindeer and cardinal among the birches, Bonnie!! Love it!!
This is fabulous Bonnie and love the look of the scene which die cuts into the card and together with the green behind and the die cut stitched snow slopes works beautifully, and what a sweet little cardinal and deer to finish the pretty scene. x
LOVE this little scene...that deer is adorable but my heart is fluttering over the cardinal! So sweet!
How adorable! I love that snow covered deer standing majestically with your cardinal looking down..
I had an error in my typing so deleted my first comment. I love the scene you created with the birch trees die cut and delightful deer. The red cardinal pops against the white background. TFS
Beautifully done!!!! TFS!

Beautiful! Love the little window into the snowy background! That deer is adorable. And great colours!
What a beautiful job you did coloring your die cuts! You certainly added wonderful dimension to them with your shading. Love that deer too- one of the nicest one I've seen.

This snowy birch forest scene is so pretty, Bonnie! Adding the snowdrifts to the forest is such a great idea. Your deer is adorable, and the red cardinal is a wonderful accent!

Wonderful die and wonderful scene, just love those birch tress
I just got that birch die and can’t wait to use it especially after seeing your beautiful card! The colour panel you placed behind it is so pretty and really makes the birch scene pop. Wonderful colouring of the trees and deer, too.
Love the irregular shape of the aperture and the stunning colours behind it. It makes a wonderful background for your deer. Vicky x
Your Christmas card is so pretty, Bonnie! LOVE the colour of the background with the falling snow. The bird is so sweet, but it's that reindeer that steals the show. He is adorable. Darn that it's retired! xx
love it!!

Great winter scene. I love the watercolor background and the beautiful splashing. Very realistic appearance of falling snow. And the deer is very proud :-)
