My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches 354 Challenge for the week.

I  started with a card base of Shaded Spruce, cut 4-1/4 x 11 and scored at 5-1/2.

• A mat from Early Expresso was cut 4 x 5-1/4. This is the mat for the art piece.
• The art piece is from Whisper White Thick Cardstock.
• The trees are stamped in Shaded Spruce on the Whisper White. When I mask I find it easier (hint from Jennifer McGuire) to use a piece of transparent plastic (you can use one your stamps are stuck to).  Here is Jennifer’s 9 minute video on how to mask. Watching is easier than me trying to put on paper how to mask.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7cEfNLBhuc
• After stamping the trees, the Whisper White art piece it is embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.
• The deer is stamped on a scrap of Crumb Cake card stock using Early Expresso ink and the Dashing Deer stamp set and then Versa Mark  stamped over the Early Express then Clear Embossing powder sprinkled over the Versa Mark and heat embossed.  The deer was cut using the Detailed Deer Thinlits Dies.
• The greeting is from the Postcard Pals stamp set stamped in Shaded Spruce.
• The art piece is adhered to the Early Expresso mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then popped onto the Shaded Spruce card base.
• The inside sentiment panel is matted in Early Expresso card stock. The sentiment is from the Dashing Deer stamp set.  The sentiment panel also has a deer for the corner.

I hope  you found inspiration, hope and encouragement that you can use in your own card making or crafts.  I am happy to share what I create with you.  Thanks for stopping by.
