Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Nordic Winter, Yonder Star
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Real Red; Memento - Tuxedo Black
Accessories: SU Card - Real Red; White Lustre card
For me, red and white always suggests a Scandinavian/folk feel for a theme and I have just the perfect set of stamps!! I stamped the borders in Real Red directly onto the card base. I cut a thin panel of white card on which I stamped the stags and stars, mounted it onto Real Red card and attached to the card base. I finished the front of the card with two sentiments centralised above and below the panel. For the inside I cut a mat layer of Real Red and on the white panel I stamped the outline star and a bold sentiment. As it's not the front of the card I used black for the sentiment.
Don't forget to visit our blog and check out the inspiration cards from the rest of the Team. Have a super weekend. See you soon.

Beautiful cards, the first one reminds me of the jumpers that Val Doonican and Andy Williams used to wear :o)

Definitely Nordic & I love the cross-stitch effect of the stamps which reminds me so of my childhood & many patterns that I associate with the Scandinavia.

This reminds me of a Scandinavian style knitted sweater which gives your festive card a real warm and cosy vibe! Great job with the colour challenge Deborah! Have a happy weekend! Ruth x
LOVE the Nordic feel of your card, Deb! You could easily mass produce these flat cards for Christmas! Great idea!
I love red and white for Christmas! Your card and stamping are gorgeous! Love the look of cross stitched. The inside is pretty as well. Hope you have a nice Mother's Day Deborah!

This is gorgeous Deborah. Looks like real stitching almost to me. LOVE this is red and white - its perfect! Hugs D
Like several of the previous commenters, I think the stitched look of your card is great! Excellent job centering the images on the card front. I tend to be a perfectionist about that in my own stamping and I know it isn't always easy!
I really like the idea to do the card in "cross stitch"
It gives a touch of yesteryear, who is back in fashion! I love to cross stitch when I have some time....
Thank you for your nice comment.
