Oh Deer - Two Cards Today

        It was cloudy in the morning but it soon cleared up and it was quite sunny and 6C (42F) this afternoon – unless you were out in the open where the cold wind was blowing…a little cooler then.

        Today I’m posting two cards because they are very similar. 

        For this card, I took a piece of white cardstock and sponged on some yellow and orange Distress Inks to make it look like a sunset….or sunrise, whatever. Then I die cut the image out of black cardstock and placed it over top. It looked fine so I glued it down and added the peel-off birthday sentiment. 

        For this card I decided to add more blue the sponged areas and I stamped some trees in very light grey ink in the background….hard to see in the photo but they are there. When I die cut this one, the scene was not in the middle…..there was more black at the bottom than the top. So first I embossed a stitched line across the bottom edge about ¾” up and then glued on a die cut deer and the peel-off sentiment. I obviously have to use the same dies over and over but I do like to mix them up with various layouts. What appeals to one person, will not to another so it works out fine in the long run.

        That’s all for a sunny Wednesday, March-04-20. I’ll be back on Friday with another posting.

Cheers
