Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Cold and Frosty Card using Dina Wakley's Fawns Stamp Set

A very merry Christmas week to you and yours!  May we all enjoy this season with those we love and look forward to lots of happy memories in 2025.  Over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog, we're finishing out the year with a 2-week-long challenge with the theme of Cold and Frosty.


I started by cutting this fabulous card shape using AALL & Create's Numberama die set, which I then painted with watercolors and some Infusions.


While that was drying, I stamped this adorable deer from Dina Wakley's Fawns stamp set and colored it with Distress Watercolor pencils.


To my card background, I added some snow stenciling, text strips, scribbling and some polka dots I'd stenciled onto deli paper.

I looked at my snowy scene and wondered if a deer might appreciate a scarf, so I added one to my deer and also gave the deer some frosty accents.


I glued my deer to the background and found a quote that I thought would be hopeful for those of us who get tired of all the cold.  I typed the quote on a typewriter and with that final touch, this card was done!


Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
