Hello! The theme for the Krafty Chicks Challenge #817, is Masculine. To join in on the fun, click the link (HERE) For my card, I used this card layout from Pinterest as a starting point. I chose Unity’s kit, that includes - The Wild Haven finely detailed stamp, Found In the Forest Patterned Paper, and Evergreen Stencil. I stamped the buck directly onto a piece of patterned paper, in Early Espresso Ink (SU). I used a clear piece of acetate measured to my dimensions and traced the edge with a pencil so I could see exactly where to cut. This is a great way of seeing exactly where to cut and not waste your pretty papers! The fun part: Coloring! This is such a beautiful image, that I really enjoyed coloring! I used various shades of brown and black to add more depth to the buck’s fur. Eggshell - was added for a few highlights. I also used Stampin’ Write fine tip markers in Early Espresso, and Mossy Meadow to color the evergreens, grass and wate...
I’m glad you stopped by! I have always enjoyed art, and was introduced to card making about 12 years ago. From there, the ability to create a variety of styles provides a therapeutic outlet to each day. You will find several card challenges, and themes which might inspire you to try something new. Enjoy!
