Happy Wednesday!! It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built. This week we have a beautiful photo inspiration challenge:
So, my card is a bit of a stretch for the photo inspiration, but let me explain. As soon as I saw the colors, I wanted to make a Fall card, I mean, those are perfect Fall colors, right? But, I'm not ready to make Fall cards ( I AM always ready to make Christmas cards, though.). I was really caught by that dark brown and it was my starting place. Then I pulled out the gold color and the light pink. And that's how I was inspired by the photo, and here's my card:
Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions "Deer Family Silhouette", "Christmas" and "Poinsettia"
Dies: Spellbinders "Classic Circles, large", "Teardrop Circles"; MFT fancy corners; PTI fancy border die

Gorgeous Christmas card! I love the fabulous layers and the deer are spectacular! Wonderful design-I should start on my Christmas cards...I started at the beginning of the year to try and make 1 a month...hehe, that didn't last long. It's hard to get in the spirit of Christmas in may?! Lol! Thanks for the inspiration:)

This is a lovely Christmas card Heather, lovely stamping of those beautiful deer. I too love making Christmas cards and make 5 every month and put them on my blog so that Christmas doesn't become too much of a chore! This is a great make with beautiful colours, thank you for sharing it with us at Fashionable Stamping Challenges, Leanne DT.
Such a beautiful Christmas card Heather! I just love it!! Hugs, Robin
totally get where you are coming from with the fall colors, I thought the same thing. Great card and take on the photo.
Heather - love this! This is one of my favorite RI stamps, and I love that you've incorporated the pink with it. Great job!!!
Oh wow! I love how you were inspired by that photo inspiration - I thought fall as well, but haven't gotten any farther than that! Great Christmas card - love the extra touches you included. Thanks for linking this up to the Cropstop blog - it's a pleasure to have you play along this month!
Lovely. Great use of Frantage and and the gold accents are gorgeous. Such a pretty card. Thanks for joining in our 'Shabby Chic' challenge at Sweet Stampin' this week, I'm so pleased you did. Hugs, Wends xoxo Sweet Stampin' DT
A lovely Christmas card Thanks for joining us at In The Pink Love and hugs Carole x Design Team
This is a great card -- and NEVER to early to start with Christmas cards! I really like the little scroll detailing you added.
Now see, I would never think of pink, brown and gold for Christmas! Love the color combo though my favorite part is the treatment around your main image. Adds so much texture. Great card and happy you joined in the Tuesday Throwdown challenge this week.
Great take of our sketch, Heather...gorgeous Christmas card!
Thanks voor joining us at Cheerful Sketches!

I haven't thought of the brown/pink color combo in a long time, but this really is stunning. I wasn't thinking of Christmas cards yet either, but now I am! Fabulous card, Heather.
What a beautiful, non-traditional color scheme for your holiday card! Thank you for sharing with us at Fashionable Stamoing Challenge.
Dit is een hele mooie kaart geworden en zo leuk om onze sketch er in terug te vinden.
Bedankt voor je deelname aan de mei challenge van Cheerful Sketches.
Succes !
Groetjes,
