Oh Deer!

 Good Morning Friends! I hope you are doing well this fine day. Today I have a couple fun cards to share with you using one of the newest sets of stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry - the Peg Stamp People...Deer Family.

My first card has a fun vintage vibe to it. I had made a shaker card a couple weeks ago and I saved the parts I cut out to make the shaker window...this tree and star which were cut from a piece of paper with a wood pattern on it. I thought it might be fun to use these die-cuts as my jumping off point for my little scene.  

I decided where I would like the hills to be and marked those off with a pencil. I then stamped the deer using VersaFine Clair Pinecone (the darkest VFC brown). Next came the Bare Trees stamped with VFC Acorn and the Tree Cluster stamped using VFC Rain Forest.

After all of the images were stamped it was time to add the snow and snowflakes. I used a white acrylic paint pen to draw the actual land then used a white pigment ink to add snow to the ground. I used the snow stamp from the Let It Snow set to add the flakes to the star and upper portion of the tree. The star and tree were edged using more Pinecone ink.

I assembled the card using pattern paper from my stash, mounted the tree to the card then stamped the snowflakes using VFC Morning Mist and the sentiment with Nocturne.

I had a scrap of watercolor paper left over from another project and I thought it would make a nice starting point for this little scene.  I penciled on the basic landscape then began stamping both the Bare Trees and Tree Cluster to create a wooded scene. I then stamped the deer family making sure that the buck could over see his family.

Once I had all of the images stamped and dried I watercolored the sky and snowy areas. After the paint was dry I added lots of sparkle with a bit of glitter then stamped the sentiment.
