Deer to Me

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Ooh, it's been hot.  The air conditioner is having trouble keeping the heat

at bay upstairs in my craft room.  But I managed to get a card done.

Michele's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches nearly stumped me.

I think I made it harder on myself because I needed to make an anniversary card

for my DH.  We have been married a l-o-n-g time and that anniversary is looming!

Here's the sketch

I remembered a pad of decorative paper that has some pretty scenes in it and looked

through to see if I could find one that would work. 

It took a couple of tries, but I found one that worked and cut it up and rearranged it

to make some hills with a sunrise/sunset over the hills.

Then there was the problem of finding a die cut to go with it.  My only tree die 

didn't work, but these deer did.  I had to do a little surgery on one of them as one is

supposed to be me and she deer don't have antlers.

Once I got the hills figured out the rest was easy.  A little sponging on the deer

was all that was needed.

In the end, I'm happy with the card and enjoyed the challenge.

Thanks, Michele!

Now I'd better get it over to Freshly Made Sketches before they lock the door.
