Welcome, and Merry Christmas Eve!
I hope you have an amazing Christmas -- I'm sending my sincerest Merry Wishes to all of you.
May your holidays be filled with love, laughter and those close to your heart.
My first card is going to Hubbs!
A new stamp, that I just love! This card will be visiting NBUS #81. Stamped, colored and cut, then popped up with its cute sentiment.
This next card was an "ask". I literally had a request to make all of their Christmas cards from a photograph. While I clearly don't have the time, it was also hard for me to translate into a card as I know them. I definitely had a struggle, but we sent it to the requestor and they loved it. I believe this was close to my 6th attempt! I guess I'm better at "inspiration" than translation from realistic. I'll attach the "photo" below.
A masked skyline, a bunch of ink-blending and stamping of "branches" and "grass", then splattering before adding the stamped and die-cut deer.
The inspiration photo ~
While I did my best converting a photo into a card, I have so manyreservations, at least in this instance. Are my "deer" supplies limited? Yes. Is it horrible? No. Would I ever sell a card (not that I do anyway) like this? No! I'll chalk it up to Best Effort.
Supplies:
Card 1 - Unity Snugglebuck (NBUS); MFT - Elegant Rectangle Stax dies
Card 2 - PTI Deer To Me stamps/dies
That's it for me, and I truly hope you have
The Most Wonderful Christmas!
Hugs,
TK

I like both cards! Merry Christmas!
He is very cute. Merry! Merry!
The first card is a hoot, TK. I can see why you love the image. The background on the second card is well blended and looks like the photo. I think you did a fantastic job with the deer that you had. I would have hesitated to do it too.
Merry Christmas to you and the Mister, TK!
I think your translation from photo to card is absolutely fantastic! [IMHO this is the only deer one needs in their stash]
=]
What a sweet deer is your first card! I love his Christmas hat and the heart hanging from his antler! You absolutely nailed the background on the second card and I love this deer! Merry Christmas, my friend!
I think you did an absolutely amazing job translating the photo into a card, TK! It is wonderful. The first card is super cute, too!
LOVE the hubby's card TK...just waaaaay tooooo CUTE!! And the card you made from the photo is AWESOME! You're way too hard on yourself...it turned out beautifully! Hope you had a wonderful day yesterday?! Ours was very quiet, but wonderful after all the craziness of the past few weeks! It was nice to just have time to reflect on the season and enjoy the lights on the tree. And have dinner with my mom!! Hugs. :0)
Well, I think you captured the spirit of the photo perfectly! That background is fabulous. I'm not surprised they were happy with it. As for the first card - ohm that ade me smile! I love the silly hat and the heart decoration. Fabulous.
