A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

LEAPING DEER

Hi Everyone

Get me .. .. a bit early tonight .. .. I doubt it will last!!  LOL!!!

Today is the 25th of the month which means Rudolph Day as instigated by my lovely blog buddy Sandra .. though due to her current good news she actually brought her Rudolph Day forward so you will need to back track a little to see Sandra's lovely Christmas make.

No Rudolph on Rudolph Day but I do have a leaping deer.  Such a fabby and quick image to use because it doesn't require any colouring!!

I used it last time for one of my Happy Handy Hippo makes using a brown Memento Ink Pad .. .. but today I have embossed it in gold.

Not sure how well the embossing shows up .. .but I am well pleased with it.





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3057K" Leaping Deer
Sentiment:  Stampendous! Cling Stamp "Family Season"
Backing Papers:  Papermania "A Silent Night"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Gold Embossing Powder
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon and cord from the Stash Box

So that is me for today and I am hoping that being early will mean I have time for a good old blog catch up this evening.

Love

Lovely card, Jules, using DP from one of my favourite packs too. I find anything metallic is hard to photograph at it's best too ... either looks dull or you get a glare. Anyway, your reindeer looks beautiful and I love the sentiment. Elizabeth x

This is just beautiful Jules. I'm a huge fan of Penny Black but I've got enough of them to last me a lifetime. Doesn't stop me wanting this one though!!! Love the papers, very elegant card.
