Moxie Fab World - Fun & Cute Challenge

Last week while I was on vacation, Moxie Fab World issued a bunch of challenges to help us stretch our style for the holidays. I managed to get them all done last night, LOL, well, all except the Vintage & Shabby... I don't know if I'm brave enough to even attempt that one! ;) This is the card I created for the Fun & Cute Challenge.

I started with a base of Hibiscus Burst card stock that I ran through my printer (to add the mistletoe sentiment). Once I had that done, I stamped two of the deer images onto acetate with Stazon Black ink, and set them aside to dry.

At first I tried cutting strips for the hills, and then tearing the edges, but ended up throwing them in the bin because they just.didn't.work. I grabbed my craft knife and eye-balled the hills, then used my finger nail to pull back the top edge just a bit to give them a little definition before adding them to the card base with mini pop dots.

Next, I stamped the branch image from Out on a Limb in black ink, then colored in the leaves with a white gel pen. By this time (being as I'm the world's SLOWEST stamper), the deers were dry, and I trimmed them out, cutting off the antlers of one of them. I flipped the deer with antlers over and added card stock to the back side so that my deer's could face each other. :)

To finish up, I stamped the heart from Ali Edward's Loving Words set and colored it in with Copics. The heart and both deers were added with mini pop dots. LOL, a lot of work for such a simple card! :P

Have a great one!
