The pony pulling the cart with children riding, holding the red reigns and the red harness with the golden bells, the red fastener with a golden buckle.\u00a0 His pale coloured mane falling untidily on the face and his hoof prints in the snow.\u00a0 Now to the little cart behind, a paler red with 2 small black lanterns giving off a lovely glow, the very green Christmas tree is collecting snow in the branches.\u00a0 All the children are well wrapped up against the cold and look very happy. There is a little chubby robin perched on the gatepost under a tree that still has a scattering of leaves attached and in the lane on the right there is a holly bush with lovely bright red berries.\u00a0 In the distance is a little cottage set in a snow covered field.<\/p>\n<p>A lovely Christmas image with excited children taking home the tree.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Santa and Kittens<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A portrait gloss card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These little kittens are getting a treat being delivered by Santa.\u00a0 Placed gently by the tree that\u2019s decorated with gold and red baubles and sparkly white lights.<\/p>\n<p>In amongst the lovingly wrapped presents with gold and red paper and contrasting red and white bows.\u00a0 You can just see a snow flurry through the window luckily these kitty\u2019s are warm indoors.\u00a0 Santa in his red suit with soft white fur and hat with the golden bell is bending down to shush the kittens so no-one will hear their meows.<\/p>\n<p>There will be a lovely surprise for someone on Christmas morning.\u00a0 A very traditional looking card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Shortening Winter\u2019s Day<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is a landscape gloss card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A very pale sun in a winter sky casting the shadow of the tree whose branches are heavy with snow onto the snowy field.\u00a0 The sheep are heavily fleeced to protect them from the cold.\u00a0 They make their way to the farmer who is laden down with straw, their hoof prints clearly seen in the deep snow.\u00a0 The farm buildings can just be seen in amongst the trees to the left. Further in the distance you can just make out a snow covered hill.\u00a0 A very traditional winter scene with pale colours reflecting the time of day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Robin on a Gatepost<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A square card with a matt finish and a touch silver glitter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Looks like a very chubby Robin or has it just fluffed up its feathers to keep warm in the snowy weather. The Robin is in full flow of singing with its beak open wide.\u00a0 It\u2019s sat on top of a green metal gatepost that has bright red berries entwined around the post and gate that makes a striking contrast to the snowy background.\u00a0 The gatepost and berries have a sprinkling of glitter to give it a more Christmassy effect. Behind the Robin is a small cottage with light shining through the windows on this winters day and a plume of smoke coming from the chimney.\u00a0 Set in woodland with trees bereft of leaves.\u00a0 This is truly a very traditional card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pheasants<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A portrait card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A lovely winter scene with male and female pheasants on a snowy lane.\u00a0 Snow is still falling and lays heavy on the branches of the tree.\u00a0 The male pheasant is strutting proudly whilst the female looks on.\u00a0 Across the field there is a farm and farmhouse with smoke billowing out of twin chimneys, the windows give the impression of eyes looking across to the lane and pheasants.<\/p>\n<p>A lovely winters scene and a very traditional card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Red Fox<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A landscape card in a gloss finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This beautiful creature stands out with his red fur and his white chest the same colour as the snow around him and his footprints can clearly be seen.\u00a0 The tree and foliage are almost the same colour as his fur.\u00a0 The snow has gathered on the tree branches and is still falling quite heavily.\u00a0 There are few leaves still cling on to the branches of the tree.\u00a0 A contemporary card depicting wild life at its best.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Christmas Deer<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A square card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A very unusual card design depicting a deer.\u00a0 If you look closely at the amount of detail that has been used to create the image, there are doves, deer, gingerbread men, sweets, candles, hearts, music notes, gifts and much more.<\/p>\n<p>A very clever and contemporary design compared to a traditional card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Snowy Owl<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A landscape card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This absolutely stunning card depicting a snowy owl just sat in the snow with nothing around.\u00a0 They are known for sitting on the ground in wide open areas rather than perching in trees.\u00a0 The snow is falling quite heavily but the owl doesn\u2019t seem to care.\u00a0 Its piercing orange eyes set In a pure white face, apart from the black beak, just staring directly at you.\u00a0 The black feathers are a stark contrast to the pure white of the snow.<\/p>\n<p>A contemporary design which would be well suited as a Corporate Christmas card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pony Cart &nbsp; &nbsp; This is a landscape gloss card. &nbsp; The detail in this card is amazing, it\u2019s almost 3D like.
