For Vicky's Dare to Get Dirty challenge for Fan Club members.
A friend of mine who is a keen gardener moved to an island from the city, and now has to battle the local wild deer who keep coming out of the woods and eating her beloved flowers and shrubs (they can jump over the high fence she built). So I made her a birthday card depicting this!
I stamped the Tim Holtz trees for the woods, then stenciled a tiny bit of a grid stencil to represent the fence and put a leaping die cut deer in front of it.
In the bottom left, I used some small Rubber Stamp Tapestry peg stamps in various colours to create shrubbery and flowers, and put a grazing deer there, trampling the bushes and eating the flowers.
I'm hoping she'll laugh rather than cry when she gets the card!

Ack! I know exactly how she feels... ( supposedly they wont jump a fence they cannot see through if that is an option on making changes to her fence?) (you know like if it was that metal chain link and she could fill it with slats or something...

Lovely scene, Susan! I think those are the same deer that ate all my tulips this spring! :-) I hope your friend gets a laugh out of the card!
