Chris is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week. She has given us a theme that says "Nature" to me: Garden Green, Soft Sea Foam, Soft Suede and a dessert option of any animal. This older stamp set and a Christmas theme immediately came to mind.
I stamped the deer on Soft Suede cardstock with Soft Suede ink, then die cut. Stamped the plaid background on Soft Sea Foam cardstock with Garden Green ink, then used a fine-tip Sharpie in a color close to Merry Merlot (a permitted neutral) for my accent stripe, drawn carefully with a ruler. The greeting was stamped and die cut, and the ovals were cut from Soft Sea Foam cardstock and gold foil.
I have no idea what possessed me to try to pop the deer up on foam tape! There are a zillion teensy pieces of foam tape behind the deer's body, legs and antlers, but he's popped up! A few sequins to add a little sparkle, and my card is done!
I am looking forward to seeing many interesting animals in the gallery this week, and I hope your creation will be among them!
Accessories: Dashing Deer dies (SU), Holiday Scripts dies (Pretty Pink Posh), Merry Merlot Fine Tip Sharpie, Stitched Oval Frame die (MFT), sequins, foam tape
