Thanks so much for the challenge! Card Crazy has a fabu gallery, so I picked two cards and agonized over narrowing it down to two! This is the first.
One of my best friends is an artisan wood floor installer who lives in Florida. He does exquisite work! I've been wanting to make him a card with some wood laminates I picked up several months ago. It's perfect timing as he loves Seattle and hasn't been able to visit as often as he'd like this year. So this will be a reminder that he is missed. (And maybe a nice alternative to the wood they use to board up windows during hurricane season!)
I stamped the deer image on thin wood laminate and colored it with Prismas and OMS. Bordered it with inlay laminate and cut the ovals from two different wood laminates. (Pete will immediately notice that I didn't miter the corners for the frame, but I couldn't make myself go there! I'm just not quite as talented as he is!)

I love the stamped laminates. Wow, how clever is that?! And perfect for the recipient it seems. I'm sure he'll love it. Your coloring is gorgeous. Awesome. Thanks for making my day!
