Playful Deer Collage – Blog Blitz Begins!!
by Jeanne Jachna

Thanks for stopping by!  You picked a great day for a visit!  We're beginning our BLOG BLITZ today!  This is an event where we show you projects made with the new release and gift you with a prize on every single post!   This week we're showing Valentines!   There's lots of heart dies to share, and a stamp set too! 

Who says Valentines need to be pink or red?  I make cards for friends and family, and tags for treats for school and work.  I don't always want a card that is overly feminine or too heavy on the lovey dovey! LOL  I made this card for my DH.  We love to go walking together so these Playful Deer were just the ticket.

I topped the PLAYFUL DEER COLLAGE with the FOLIUM FRAME.  The different shades of green card stock add to the look of foliage – allowing us to peek in at this private woodland scene.  Behind the  PLAYFUL DEER COLLAGE is a PEERELESS WATERCOLOR panel.

I added a few TINY BIRDS AND BRANCHES for more detail in framing the scene.  The white hearts are cut from the new HEART SCREEN.  You'll want to save all the little heart cut outs when you use the outline image.

The sentiment is from a new stamp set called GRATEFUL HEARTS .  YES!  It does have a coordinating die cut set! 

OK.. now for the part you've been waiting for!  The prize for today's post is the PLAYFUL DEER COLLAGE.

 

Let me fill you in on all the details ok?  

The blog blitz runs  from January 9-January 23, 2017.  We'll be giving  away a prize on every post during this time.   Most days we'll have 2 posts so check back often!  
To enter to win you need to leave a comment on EACH of the posts that you wish to enter.   One person will be chosen at random from each of the posts during the blog blitz.

Only one prize per person per blog blitz. We use random number generator to select winners from comments.

You have until midnight US EST January 25  to leave a comment on each and every post that you want to enter. Winners will announced on this blog on January 28.

  38. This is so charming and inspiring. I saw this die and though “Ohhh that’s nice!” I didn’t think about layering it with the frame die. It really makes you look at the dies differently. Love this card. Thank you for the inspiration! 😀

  40. What a fabulous scene and I just love the fresh colors you used. The inked background is awesome too! Beautifully done Jeanne!!

  47. Love the die. It is so sweet. The layering of the other pieces makes for a wonderful scene.
    The colors are great – the background sky is fantastic.
    thanks for sharing.

  56. This is VERY nice Jeanne. Love the colours too, yuo are right everything doesn’t need to be red and pink for Valentine’s. Especially for the hub’s. (No doubt, most husbands would prefer this colour!)

  57. Like the deer collage and all that you added to it! Happy to have another fun blog. Thanks, Jeanne.

  58. An amazing piece of art here Jeannie with all of those lovely dies! I want them all – I love my Poppy Dies – we are in the transition of moving – but hope to get into commenting on all of the pages before and after our move – blessings and have a great day!

  59. Wow! I just can’t get past my desire to make this card. I absolutely love this color combination and the treatment of the dies. I just have to get these dies. I work in a stamp shop but unfortunately we don’t get all the dies on the first order. I’ll have to make sure we get these on our next order. Thank you Jeanne for such beautiful inspiration.
