Stamped and doodled deer

Hello!

I have three christmas mini notecards today, the inspiration for which was this image on instagram!

I used the deer stamp from Winnie and Walter's  'Winter Wonderland' Stamp set and using my Misti tool, I stamped the dear in pale shades of memento inks.

The inspiration design had an etched design on the deer, so I decided to recreate a similar design using my white Signo gel pen.

A cut square stitched dies using Simon Says Stamp dies and stamped the pine leaves (Winnie and Walter 'Winter Wonderland') on two of them and dry embossed the third.

I used Memento 'Summer Sky' ink around the edges and added some buttons and sequins(craftangles)

to add some interest.

I then adhered the deer to the panels (except card no 2..where I stamped the deer directly on the panel) and finished the cards by adhering the panels to a 3"x3" card base.

I absolutely love how they turned out!!

 I am submitting these cards for 

The Craft Stamper Magazine 'Take it, Make it' Anything goes Challenge

and the 

Simon Says Stamp Monday  'All creatures great and small' challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!
