Ths is a card I would like to teach for a cardmaking class at a convention. I hope the participants will like it, but wonder if it may be too difficult or time consuming?

I like your card and don't think it would be difficult. You could run the one piece through the Cuttlebug ahead of time and I presume you will have the others pre-cut. Maybe have one less layer under the stamped image but I do like you card.

Pretty card! Maybe you could also do the brayering piece so all they'd have to do is stamp the deer and tree. I assume it was a brayered background....

I personally think its perfect as is. Not too complicated or too many layers. It looks simple enough to be recreated easily as long as you have all your layers precut. Allow your guests to emboss their own sheet...will give you the ability to show how fun it is to use embossing folders to emboss paper. I think you came up with a fabulous card and one that allows you to show a couple of different techniques. Good luck!

Precut yes do any steps no way! Show off those tools and how fun they are! I am not a stamp rep.... so this is customer opinion... I LOVE to play with the things and don't want it done for me it makes me think maybe I couldn't do it or there are problems with the product that mean failures and wasted paper. This card is wonderful!!! And it is a male card!!!!!! Anyone that is into making or buying cards knows those are hard to find! GREAT job!

I think the card is perfect sis! It would be relatively easy for a beginner to make and I think they would have a huge sense of accomplishment. I agree with the above comment...I would not want any of the steps done for me...but of course precutting the pieces is absolutely necessary. Great job!!!
