Deer in the Yard, and Deer on a Card

We've been having some regular visitors to our yard at our new home, and I'm loving it!


Sometimes he brings his mama:


But now that we've started our landscaping (and have a new fence) their visits are a little less frequent.  I hope they'll continue to visit once the landscaping is done.

Our little friends have inspired this card:



Sigh...LOVE!

I reached back to an older stamp set (but still in the current annual catalog) - Dashing Deer.  I was working with the gorgeous new designer series paper, Brightly Gleaming, and inspiration struck.


Yes, I know there is no such thing as a copper deer, but I love the Delicata Celestial Copper ink on Night of Navy cardstock...so beautiful!


Baby deer is also stamped in Celestial Copper, and both creatures were cut out with the Detailed Deer dies.  And see that sentiment?  Stamped on Vellum with Night of Navy ink and heat embossed with Clear emboss powder to give a nice shine.


Although it only looks like a few white patches on these trees, they actually are covered in Shimmery Crystal Effects with some Ice Stampin' Glitter and are very glittery.  They are from the Rooted in Nature set and cut with the Nature's Roots dies.


A Whisper White layer was layered with two pieces of Vellum, torn to look like snow drifts.  There's a thin line of Wink of Stella across the tops of each piece, which when held in the light looks like sparkling snow.


I do hope we continue to enjoy visits from these lovely animals.  And in the meantime, I'll enjoy playing with these stamps!
