I made this for today's sketch challenge and this weeks technique challenge (hitting the bottle).
Noble deer image stamped on whisper white with stazon jet black. Water coloured with squished ink pads. Edges inked with chocolate chip, matted with sage shadow, chocolate chip and textured vanilla. all edges inked. Main card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" of textured vanilla, next is choc. chip, edges inked.
on a piece of sage shadow I stamped the trees with sage shadow and then stamped the sanded bg in chocolate chip. cut out each square 1 1/2", inked edges. cut out vanilla squares to mat the ss. Used crop o dile to set the jumbo eyelets. Threaded string through eyelets and tied off. stamped the sentiment on vanilla, punched out with window punch and inked edges.
