When Louise Sharp was visiting for two weeks in September, she completed several projects for me that I shared here – her water coloring is spectacular, so I was excited to share her work with you. One of the days during her visit, she accompanied me to work and water colored baby deer at a desk in my office with the Reindeer Fun stamp set. She took most of the stamped deer with her, but she left me a few – and one of the deer made its way onto the card I’m sharing with you today. Here’s my card with Louise’s sweet deer:
I stamped a tree and snowflakes from the Reindeer Fun stamp set on a 2″ Basic White circle, a perfect foundation for the sweet images. I layered that circle on a 2-3/8″ circle. The focal image is mounted on a strip of snowflakes from the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper (sold out and retired) and accented with a trio of Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots. The sentiment on my card is pulled from the Iconic Imagery stamp set.
Louise stamped the deer with StazOn Jet Black ink, colored him with a Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Marker and a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker before blending the ink with a Water Painter. So delicate and sweet! Here’s a look at her setup in my office that day:
The Reindeer Fun Stamp Set is included in the Last Chance Sale, so time is limited to pick it up if it sings to you (the coordinating dies have already sold out, but the stamp set is still available):
I was in a pinch to make a quick card to share – was happy to have this little deer on hand to quickly build a card around him. ♥
