Deer Card

 Unbelievable weather patterns right now. We went for weeks with no rain and then we got two days of rain, including a thunderstorm with hail last night. But, it has cooled down so much that I had to turn the furnace back on. I think that’s the first time that I can remember turning a furnace on in the middle of June.

 Today’s card is featuring a card made with a new stamp.

                                         

This is a new stamp that was gifted to me. At first I wasn’t sure I liked it or what to do with it so, I experimented a bit.

 I found that inked background piece in the stash stamped it on lightly. Then I re-inked it and stamped again so the solid pieces were much darker. This made the trees in the background recede. The deer is a die cut and is simply glued on. The white frame is part of the stamp. It was then mounted on black cardstock. Then I found that light turquoise paper that matched fairly well with the colours in the sky. It was run through a stitched plate that does not cut, but just pierces the paper. I have two of them and I love them. Then it needed something else so I die cut that black cardstock strip that I first glued to a piece of foam… very thick, I won’t do that again…. but I do love the end result. The sentiment is a black peel-off.

That’s all for a very cool Wednesday, June 14, 2023.

Cheers
