This photo stamp (yes it's a stamp but obviously started out as a real photo) reminded me of the photos of Ansel Adams. He is known for his dramatic photos of National Parks and outdoor scenes. It was stamped on glossy paper using StazOn ink. I kept the design simple to show off the image. The strip in the back was run through a crimper and highlighted with gesso and spray stain in silver.

WOW your photo stamp could well be mistaken for an actual photogragh - the detail and shadings are amazing. Your die cut deer look like they have just wandered out of the wilderness in your photo to get a look at the rest of the world.

That photo stamp is amazing. I like the layout, the corrugated card and family of deer add to the winter feel.
Some time I am going to have to buy another crimper - if they even sell them any more. Mine does NOT give a result anything like this.
It is amazing! It looks like a real photo! Great texture and those deer go wonderfully with the photo stamped image. All your elements are perfect together!
