First off, I'm not the best with scenes, so I've only used a small panel, and the theme is quite simple, but that's OK. I have however made a swinging panel card, courtesy of a tutorial from my crafty friend Jacqueline, so I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
I used my Aspen tree stencil to create the tree scene and added two die cut deer in the deep red colour to match the coordinating papers . The circular panel twists around when you open the card to reveal the sentiment, heat embossed in gold and from Delightful Dozen. I used punched out holly leaves to cover the cut edge.
Over at the blog the DT have been amazingly creative with the theme of Christmas landscapes, do have a look at their fabulous work and I look forward to seeing yours!
LOVE this clean crisp look, Louise. You've kept it strong and vibrant...it'll be good card for a man, I think. Have a lovely (dry) weekend!

I've only used stencils once, and I'm hooked! This one with the trees is definitely going to be put on my wishlist! This is a lovely card, equally perfect for a man as for a woman - I like that about a card!

Thumbs up to you for stepping outside the box and using a different color scheme than the rest of the 52{C}CT design team! The red deer really pop against the lovely stenciled trees.
