Oh Deer for Merry Little Christmas Challenge #65 on the 1st of November, 2025

 

For challenge #65 for November/December 2025 of the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog I made a card from the La-La Land Virtual Christmas Colour & Create Workshop using some of my products from La-La Land Crafts as well as from the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember 2025 Release!

Here is my card for this month:

and here is a photo of the inside:

This is Irina's design and all the products used on this card are actually already released in the La-La Land Crafts Shop, or were part of the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember 2025 Release, so the products are:

The deer was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on to X-Press It Blending card, die cut and coloured with the following Copics and Prismacolour pencils:

I also used white gel pen on the image, as well as Glossy Accents on the eyes.

I totally forgot to take a photo of the image after colouring it.

I followed Irina's instructions from the class. 

The sentiment was stamped using Elderberry Memento ink, then die cut using the die from the set. Everything on the inside of the card was adhered with Art Glitter glue. The front is Art Glitter glue and foam tape.

Here are some photos from the side, so you can see the layering and inside:
