Pretty in Plaid

Good Friday Afternoon Friends!

When I saw the new challenge offered up over on the Memory Box Blog, I couldn't help but start creating and play along.  Their theme is month is:

 

Be sure to pop over and check out the samples & read the rules!
Here's what I've created . . .


The Memory Box products I have used for my card are:

Evergreen Sky Collage

Memory Box - Dies - Evergreen Sky Collage

Silverdale Branch

Memory Box - Dies - Silverdale Branch

 Leaping Deer  (older die)  #98390

Believe (older die) #1280

Christmas Plaid 6x6 paper

 PP1009 Christmas Plaid 6x6 pack

 The word BELIEVE was die cut twice.  Once from the reverse side of my focus plaid panel and again from a scrap of red card stock.  I then adhered them together slightly offset to create a shadow effect and make the word pop.


 My corner Silverdale Branch was colored using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers
and Red Stickles was used to give Rudolph his shiny red nose.

 

It appears he must be running late to meet up with Santa and the other reindeer!
OH DEAR ... he's better hurry!

  8. This is sooo beautiful, Darlene, and I'm excited to see it because I just ordered a set of 4 of these Memory Box dies. I love what you did with it, framing the deer and adding the sprig. The plaid makes a great background and I super love the "believe" cut in plaid. Surprising how well the plaid shows up on the word.
