In my thoughts...

 I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog today sharing this masculine card that features their O Christmas Tree die and a sentiment from one of their sympathy sets. 

The trees use just the die cut from O Christmas Tree and were colored by scribbling different shades of green Arteza Brush Pens and blending with water. I also splattered them with Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink and black acrylic paint. The background is a piece of canvas paper that I die cut and inked around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  

 Supplies from Stamp Simply:   

Other Supplies: 

  • Canvas Paper
  • Dotted Ovals Dies (Sizzix)
  • Postage Stamp Dies (Hero Arts)
  • Sequins  
  • Vintage Photo and Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink (Ranger)

Love your layering of the trees with the deer, on a faux stamp background, it all came together perfectly!
