Cheapo Dies - In the Quiet Forest . . .

Hello All!

Today I'm sharing a fun holiday creation 

using dies from the Cheapo Dies Store.

 Today, I've once again used TWO Cheapo dies
for my creation.

Reindeer Scene

 and

Holly Branch

I began my creation by die cutting the Reindeer Scene twice from white card stock.  While the one was still in the die, I

colored the pieces that would typically 'fall out' with a darker blue alcohol marker.  Then very carefully removed it from the die trying to keep as many 'fall out' pieces in tact as possible. 

Next I glued my reindeer scene to a Tutti Designs 'Scalloped Stitched Nesting Circles' die cut circle

 

and reinserted the pieces that fell out.  Once it was all adhered to the circular panel, I went over the pop out pieces again with a lighter blue alcohol marker.

 Lastly I glued the 2nd white reindeer panel over top to hide the mis-coloring and create a clean image.

I have used the Sizzix 3=D Textured Impressions snowflake embossing folder (#662287) as the background for my focus image and also matted my reindeer scene using another circular die cut from snowflake designer paper.  Once this was all together, I decided to add the Holly Branch.

The branch was die cut from a scrap of white card stock then colored using markers and glued to the lower front of my card.  I like how it mimics the scrolly antlers of the deer.
