Welcome
Today's card is a simple one.
I got this lovely die from one of my boys for Christmas and wanted to use it.
I pulled out this inked piece of cardstock found sitting in my stash, one that I had rolled ink off my brayer while Gel Plate printing.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- After I found this inked piece of cardstock, I placed the die into the center of sheet and die cut the deer in the woods and set it aside. (the ink I brayered onto the paper was Blueprint Sketch, Cracked Pistachio and some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink)
- To give the scene a shadow effect, I die cut a piece of white cardstock and glued it to the back of the inked die cut piece, off setting it a bit.
- Using my white Posca pen, I added splatters to look like snow and give more interest to the scene.
- I added some foam tape to the back of the piece and added it to a white card base. (my finished card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2")
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look
