I was inspired by this: https://quartermoonbazaar.com/cdn/sh...0203&width=990
This is exactly the same image I think, it's a stamp from Nellie Snellen
and I've used the MIX685 challenge with Lydia's technique for the forest
I've stenciled with shaving cream and reinkers, I stamped the little owl in the die cut heart aperture and stamped the deer over the stenciled background, used the white gel pen for the spots, stamped the sentiment which means, a little hello

Well, you absolutely had to make this card when you have EXACTLY the image from your inspiration. Love your subtly coloured background and the trees to compliment your deer.

Such a lovely blend of technique and imagery. The shaving‑cream stenciled forest gives the scene a soft, misty depth that works beautifully with the delicate deer silhouettes, and the white‑gel details add just the right touch of definition. The little owl peeking through the heart aperture is such a charming surprise, and the sentiment ties the whole woodland moment together with warmth.
