My card is for the January Gallery Theme: Forest Friends. A couple of ways to interpret the theme is to use animals found in the forest and/or forest scenes. I used both of those.
The background for the deer is a stencil-aspen trees. I used Tim Holtz distress stain/iced spruce.
The deer was colored with a brush using Tim Holtz Distress stain/frayed burlap.
I cut out the deer but stamped the brush at the bottom which was part of the stamp.
Edit to add----Challenge: F4A309--Make a card for someone you love. It doesn't have to be a valentine, just made with love. This card will go to my son for his birthday and I sure love him.

Oh Brenda, your son will love this. It's a masculine masterpiece. Wow, your stencil is gorgeous and how you colored your deer is just way out of my league. Beautiful work as always.
