ICS Blog Hop: Dashing Deer


Welcome to the Inspire, Create, & Share Blog Hop! For November, we are challenged to do a monochromatic card. We can use white or vanilla, and one other color. I cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with! 

I chose one of the deer from the Dashing Deer stamp set as my focal point.  But I also used some elements from Rooted in Nature, and Merry Moose. I used Soft Suede ink and Vanilla & Suede card stock to complete the look. Some images were full strength ink, others I stamped off first. For the deer, I used the Stamparatus, so I could go over him a couple of times to make him really stand out.
 
 
Don't forget the inside, and the envelope!



I was a little worried about how this was going to turn out. But am happy to say, that it turned out just like I imagined it, which, in my card making experience, doesn't happen often!!

Thanks for joining me! Grab a cuppa' somthin', and hop on over to Joni's blog with me to see what she has to share with us!

    1. Yes, just took some printer paper a little larger than my cardstock piece and tore a frame in the middle. Used a little temp adhesive to hold the "frame" in place and then sponged around the middle. Love bringing back older techniques and making them new again!! Glad you like it!
