Scandi Christmas Deer with TCP

Scandinavian Christmas Deer Greeting Card

Hello Friends!  I’m back today with a pair of delightful deer done in a gorgeous neutral Scandinavian style.  I do love the simplicity and warmth of Scandinavian style, so I went all out with the neutrals and woodgrain textures on this card.  I began with TCP’s Scandi Santa SVG and Digi Stamp combinationfor this design, only using the digital stamp of these pretty deer.  



After printing and colouring with Copics and coloured pencil (for the gold scarves), I trimmed them out with my tiny scissors, then arranged them onto a diecut wood cut slice.  To keep the tones in that neutral/white combo, I used kraft white ink on the wood cut to bring out the texture of the grain.  This was placed on a card base with golden snowflakes.  


A gold sparkle paper banner, die cut snowflakes, wood veneer stars and a pretty white embossed sentiment from a retired TCP stamp give interesting textures and shine to the design.  It’s not often I create with neutrals, but I love the elegance and simplicity of this one!  


By now you’ve probably heard the sad news that TCP is closing at the end of the year.  It’s been my absolute delight and privilege to design for Alma for many years.  She is the best.   I will miss The Cats Pajamas for all its beautiful and unique style....and I’m also so grateful for all the fun and creativity we’ve had together!  

Thanks for joining me today!
