Hi, everyone! Today's Ways To Use It Challenge is 'Go West!' I couldn't find my one horse stamp, so I used the new 'Deer Silhouette Greetings' from North Coast Creations, which is ODBD's sister company. Along with the awesome deer set, I used the ODBD 'Vintage Ephemera Paper Collection' and ODBD Custom 'Vintage Labels' Dies to create this monochromatic, masculine design. For the image panel, I used the same die for all three layers. Two were cut and embossed with white, one of which was hand-trimmed on the embossed line and used for the stamping and sponging. The brown mat was hand-trimmed after tracing the outside of the same die....since the curves of this die were not dramatic, it was fairly easy to cut by hand....even if I did have to stick out my tongue while doing it! The designer paper has a mercantile theme, so I thought it would fit for the western theme, along with the brown tones. The layout of the card comes from the ODBD Shining the Light Sketch Challenge. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

WOW what a FABULOUS card Angie! I love the layout, the paper, and your terrific shading on the deer panel. I'm waiting to get this set in the mail (I won a GC from the blog hop..I think it was even for a comment on your blog)...I will definitely be looking at more of your samples using this set. Love this card!!

Oh, Angie, this is beautiful and so serene! What a gorgeous western scene with the deer! And I got a giggle out of your comment about not needing to stick your tongue out while you were fussy cutting! Beautifully done in every way, as always, my friend! Hugs!
