AEI{heart}U Challenge

Hi there, crafty friends!

I have another Christmas card to share today :-)

This was inspired by the AEI{heart}U Challenge over at Avery Elle.

I know, so fun!

Here is my card...

This card is so front heavy, it wouldn't stand alone...lol :-P

I heat embossed this gorgeous wreath in gold then die cut.

I picked the shimmery red cardstock, vellum, gold foil sheet, and Metallic Gold Thread to go with but I got stuck there!

This card sat on my desk unloved for a few days, then I really wanted to finish it so went through my embellishments, and there she was, my lovely deer from Maya Road! I dressed her up with a bow, mounted her slightly off centered so I could add some metallic stars next to her cute little head. 

It just needed a little more color so those tiny red sequins were added on the wreath.

I love how this card turned out! Red is not my go-to color, but it's so Christmas, and it looks so festive with gold :-)
