Sweet Woodland Deer ~ HSS228

Hi stampers!  It's time once again for a Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge!  Challenge #228 is an inspiration challenge!  These images could play out more Christmas cards or just a wintry feel.  

I chose to make a shaker card using a little deer cut out from the Home For Christmas DSP, the Sleigh Ride edgelits, and the sky is also DSP from Home For Christmas.  I added gold glitter for my shaker because this little deer (and the paper in general) has a retro 60's kind of feel to it.  Gold was BIG in the 60's.  

For the wooded element, I ran a piece of Baked Brown Sugar cardstock through my big shot with the Into the Woods embossing folder.  Later I took my brayer, inked up with white ink, and ran it lightly over the raised part.  This gives the trees their white birch look. 

Lastly, I added a wooden snowflake with a small, gold brad attached to the center and some red woven satin ribbon to mimic the ribbon around the deer's neck.  

I hope you find time to join us and participate in the challenge!  Remember, you have two weeks to play along!

Thanks for taking a peek!

A View From My Window ~ CCMC384, SSC114, & PP273

Good Thursday everyone!  It's Create with Connie and Mary time again!  This week it's the Christmas-y colors of Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow and Smokey Slate or Silver.

I chose to go with silver.  I used my brushed silver cardstock for the window and the silver DSP from the Neutrals Color Collection stack.

My card also takes in the sketch challenge from Sunday Stamps 114 and The Tic-Tac-Toe challenge from The Paper Players 273.

I used the three squares across the bottom for the Paper Players including Ribbon, Trees, and Punch or Die-Cut. 

I hope you'll find some time to play along with us at CCMC #384 this week! We love to see and comment on your creations!
