I stamped an old HA tree & a Winnie & Walter sentiment in Delicata Silvery Shimmer. The gold glitter mat is really a thin frame with white cardstock in the center. 
I die cut the EH deer from the saved piece. Luckily, I have a bright pink Zig for splatters & the right shade of pink cardstock. Finished off with gold sequins.
Two of my blogging friends, Gail & Jo, have started a new challenge called Let's Squash It. Before I started making cards, I bought dry embossed stationary. So a challenge using embossing folders is right up my alley! The first challenge is Geometric & Metallic. I used one of my older Sizzix folders that came in a set called Hello Friend Set. I sold the others since I bought it just for this one. 
The bronze foil sheet is also by Sizzix--so pretty! I used one of the RC die cut wreaths from my friend, Rosemary, foliage from PTI Twig Wreath & Painted Thanks from SSS. 
The little branches & the word are cut from the same dark red cardstock, but I added Nuvo Glaze to the word. I'm also entering SSS Flickr & WAW.
Two great cards, Greta! I love how you used the plate as your inspiration for your CKC card - it looks brilliant! Love your second card too and your colour choice is gorgeous. Thanks for joining the fun at both challenges, Jo x

Love the stag done in the gold glitter, he is impressive. The bronze embossed panel and that wreath are stunning. What a gorgeous card. I will go check out the new challenge.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't spotted Gail and Jo's new challenge until I just visited you so thank you for the direction. I have now been and visited and come back to you. 2 lovely cards here, love your inspiration from the photo for your Christmas card and wonderful restrained splatters. I am always jealous of other peoples splatters! Your squashed card is stunning, love the autumn colours xx
