Noel... deer?

 Hello!  I'm popping in to share a card for the Paper Players challenge.  This week they are asking for card featuring a deer.  My card takes a bit of license with the idea, but I think it still fits. ETA:  I think this card also works for the current Tic Tac Toe challenge.  I'm going with the white on white, embellishment and die cut.   Let's have a look.


A few years ago my friend, Greta, gave me with fun noel die.  I don't know who the manufacturer is, but as you can see the word noel has deer antlers and the drop out pieces from the "o" allow you to turn that into a nose of sorts.   I wanted to participate in the Paper Players challenge, had several options and was about to go with another when I remembered this fun die.  I thought white on white with a touch of red (thinking Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer!) would made for a fun card.  I love how it turned out.  I die cut four pieces and then glued them to a white rectangle.  The "noses" were die cut from dark red and added to the words.  I added a dollop of Nuvo drops in Morning Mist to create a shiny red "nose".  I wanted to keep the noel theme going so I used the Joyeux Noel sentiment that I die cut with a small banner die.   



That's it for me.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

What a unique die, Rosemary! It's such a fun way to incorporate our theme this week. I am so glad you shared it with The Paper Players this week!

This is the cutest idea ever! The die alone is so fun, but adding the noses really ups the whimsy! Thanks so much for playing with my theme this week at the Players!

What a clever design, Rosemary! I adore how clean and crisp the white-on-white looks with the red nose. It will definitely bring a smile to the recipient! Thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players!
