I have had this image rattling round in my head for a while now after seeing a spring card made with Alexander Renke papers (and probably dies).
As it would be easier to plait fog than get my hands on anything Alexander Renke in my part of the world without having to rob a bank beforehand I set about trying to put my own slant and create something with stamps and the dies I have.
Which is where the perspective comes in -
(Just pretend that the deer is a long way away in the distance........)
Random colouring of a leaf stamp with my Arteza pens, spritzing then stamped on the bottom of a circle with the top bit run through a snow E/F.
Die cut and watercoloured the holly and deer and added the sentiment from Penny Black inked in Walnut Stain.
It was really fiddly chopping up the berries and re-positioning them and it almost became one of those jobs I hadn't wished I'd started!
Am sharing over at CAS Christmas in their 'Winter Berries' challenge.
Some restrictions here have been eased slightly but things definitely cannot be described as 'getting back to normal'. For now I am staying put!!
Thanks for stopping by. Take Care. xx

Yes I know exactly what you mean about Renke products Viv...I so would buy them (more) if I could get hold of them (at all) and then at a reasonable price!....What an adorable 'perspective card'. Great scene making and so very sweet x.
Not sure perspective matters in this case - just call it artistic licence!! A super Christmas card. The slight easing of restrictions hasn't made any real difference to me either - I'm staying put for the time being. Plenty to keep me occupied although sometimes motivation is a bit of a problem, not alone there I guess and certainly no shortage of 'raw materials', aka stash!!
Love this Viv, especially your 'distant' deer.
You can get some older Alexandra Renke dies and papers on Amazon, still not cheap though.

We had a lovely warm sunny day here even got bedding dry-think no matter how restrictions ease will be a long time getting back to "normality"Beautiful card perspective not a problem and love the water colour leaves

Artistic licence Viv...and not obvious till you drew my attention to it, but it looks absolutely fine to me and |I live the design. xx
This is beautiful Viv. Have to say we've had a fantastic day here in the south.

This does remind me of an Alexandra Renke design, Viv! Love the soft green leaves and the red berries with the embossed snow! The little deer is colored beautifully! I'm staying in too.

A lovely card Viv and I do like the design - and the deer does look in the distance.

This is gorgeous! I really love the stamping on the bottom of the circle!
Well you did an amazing job of imitating the Alexander Renke papers... This is stunning!
A beautiful AR replica. Fabulous design. Thank you for joining in at CAS Christmas.
wonderful soft colours Viv, I love the speckles of green for the leaves. Perspective is in the eye of the beholder :)
Love the card.
You did great work creating a perspective of your design using what you had, Viv! You made me laugh about pretending the deer is off in a distance. :) I love this sweet design with the sentiment strip anchoring the deer and the branches and berries. The watercolour leaves on the bottom of the circle are so pretty! xx
really gorgeous card...love all the elements you added.

So artsy, cute, unique and CAS!
