Another card for Send a Smile 4 Kids. I printed the moose onto a piece of kraft cardstock, and colored him with my Prismacolor pencils. I went over his eyes with a black pen, then coated them and the ornaments with Glossy Accents. I matted that with a narrow blue mat. I punched my border strip from the flip side of the red patterned paper I used with the "Upper Crest" punch, and adhered it behind a piece of that patterned paper (from my scrap stash). I added that to a panel of cream cardstock. After I adhered my image panel, I stamped the greeting. I didn't realize until after I'd stamped just how far apart the words are, but I wasn't about to start over at that point! It does look OK; I just wish I'd stamped them closer together. I colored 3 gems with alcohol ink, and glued them in place with Multi Medium Matte. Finally, I adhered my card front to a white card base.

Every so often I "screw up" on my card and do something differently than I had planned. I have to remind myself that nobody knows what it looked like in my head, so it doesn't look weird to anyone else. That's what you word spacing is like. Looks great to me. I think this is just the sweetest card and your coloring is amazing. I always admire your work and I'm so glad to see that you're Featured Stamper this week! Congrats and enjoy!

This is totally adorable! Your color choices for the pattern paper and the unique border softly represent Christmas. The moose is beautifully done. Everything on your card is perfect.
