Hello Crafters!
If you’ve been reading anything I wrote or looking at anything I’ve made lately you know I’m anxiously awaiting spring. I may or may not have contemplated creating an actual count down.
Speaking of countdowns before we jump into today’s card I wanted to mention today is the last day for our Party Animal sale.
All the animal stamps in the store are on sale for 15% including their dies. the discount is applied at checkout, no code needed.
I’m all about the Spring time but I’m into stretching my stamps all year round. The stamps I chose for this card are a branch and a Christmas set. What?!
I know. Man, I like when it works out.
Originally I had intended to stamp out a scene in the background and then add a focal tree die cut along with the deer. Turns out I didn’t have room for that. It’s okay I rather like the way it came out.
I stamped the branches vertically to create little trees then added a few flowers so they wood look like cherry blossoms. I did have to do some masking but that’s okay. I don’t mind. I used the smaller tree from the Silent Night set to fill in the rest of the background. I chose a warm gray brown color so it would fall into the background.
I stamped the deer on a separate piece of cardstock and got to coloring. Since the trees in the background were a soft brown I opted for a bolder brown to help my dear stand out. The sentiment was die cut and heat embossed so I could get that white on black look I love so much.
Took me a minute but I got the video edited. It’s kind of a long one but I think it’s important to show the whole process. No one is perfect including me and I don’t want anyone getting the ide their all alone š
