Of the many cards in my favorites, Susie's (susieaustralia) cards tips the scale to include a variety of magical delights as well as her genius use of household items such as spray starch & aluminum foil!
I used a variety of ink colors to achieve the sky along with the spray starch and a little help with water on aluminum foil. This card sure does smell good!!
I stamped the Penny Black image with Versafine and used a white gel pen to snowcap the branches & buds.
I paper punched the deer image and `frosted' him with white ink on sponge dauber.
I doodled the frame lines with a micron pen. I've always admired this look but a bit nervous to do this as I feel I would run the line off the edge! I practiced this many times before penning on the card. I added the red gem dangling from a high branch. Finished with stickles for snowflakes.
I don't have a fairy image and so here's my story....
Henrietta the fairy, had a family emergency which lead her to fly off so quickly, she accidentally dropped Rudolf's red nose and ended up on the snow covered branch. Using his super power, Rudolf must jump high to get it.
In the end, Rudy gets his red nose and Henrietta's emergency was a false alarm..... Her little sister, Hildegarde thought her pixie dust wasn't working, when in fact she inadvertently sprinkled sugar on her wings!
All is well with faith, trust & pixie dust!!

What a great case of Susie's card. She will be tickled pink to see it. I love that one red ornament/nose. Reminds me of a walk in the park through a wooded area. I told hubby I was tempted to hang one ornament on a particular small tree I liked. But, I didn't..shame on me. Your scene is really pretty.

What an awesome card!!! I think your card has every bit as much of magic as Susie's. The two cards are just a little different, and that's what you are to do - put your flavor and spin on it. Super job!!! :>)

Perfect! Gorgeous. Susie uses deer too, I still have a winter deer from her sitting on my piano. I love your story, love the little red "nose" dangling in the bare branches like a last remaining berry. Great work with your doodling... I promise it gets easier with practice.
