Snowy Winter Deer by Kittie Caracciolo

Kittie Caracciolo shares a fabulous die cut Christmas card today!

Kittie used  DIE006-V Bare Tree Die, DIE080-N Deer Trio D1293 Fir Tree, B1294 Sm. Fir Tree, A8476 Sm. Pine Sprig and birds from DIE090- Y Leafy Wreath.

I started by applying ink to the stamps, misting lightly and stamping the evergreen trees across the background. I was going to add a blue sky but really liked the starkness of the green and brown against the all white sky area. I cut two sections of ground snow using deckle scissors and attached them to the card base with mounting tape

 I cut the trees and deer and sponged and blended the brown ink. I painted white watercolor paint to the branches of the trees. I attached the trees and deer to the scene with double and triple layers of mounting tape to add depth and dimension.

 I added sprigs of pine and red berries to the neck of the fawn. I attached pine sprigs to the ground area and added snowy tips with a brush and white watercolor paint.

Have a great day!

Wow. Wow. I was so focused on the awesome die cuts, your sponging and painting that I didn't notice your green trees--LOL. I love the layered effect with stamping, esp. since I'm a big stamper. This is another art piece of yours.
