The “WOW” on today’s card comes from the fabulous Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Paper.   The touches of copper in the designs lend such an elegance.

tall skinny holiday cardAlthough the circle in the sketch could be any shape, I opted to keep it as a circle to serve as a backdrop for one of my favorite die cuts, this deer from the Detailed Deer collection. I have always been captivated by the leaping deer, with its somewhat Art Deco lines.  He is stunning cut from copper foil to coordinate with the designer paper.

It’s time to play at Festive Friday!kindness cardThis week’s  challenge is in honor of Bullying Prevention Day.  Your goal is to use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project.  I used Blue, Orange, Hearts, and an encouragement theme.

The sentiment, from the Abstract Impressions stamp set, says it all!   I inked it up in bold Pacific Point, which coordinates well with the Follow Your Art designer series paper.

kindness cardThe felt hearts, from the Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit, are perfect for adding texture and interest.   As for the image,  the little oxpecker and the mighty rhino were easily colored using Stampin’ Blends.  The Pacific Point twine bow on the rhino’s tail adds a touch of whimsy.
