Depth with Simple Layers

I pulled together some of my favorite Unity sets to build this sweet layered scene. I started by stamping the trees from Pines of Endearment on one tag and the deer from Where Treetops Listen and the Holiday Lane sentiment on a second tag. Then I fussy cut around the deer, including a hand-drawn snowy hill. Popping up the deer with foam tape makes it feel like it’s stepping out of the scene.

Behind it all is a tag cut from the Quiet Morning Christmas pattern paper that echoes those trees and the deer in such a lovely way. The embossed snowflake background adds subtle texture and the gold splatter finishes everything with a soft holiday shimmer.

The tiny tag tucked at the top might be my favorite part. I stamped the little star to give it a playful pop and tied it on with soft chiffon ribbon so everything feels gathered and cozy. That simple bow pulls all the layers together and adds just the right finishing touch to this sweet winter scene.
