SUO139 In the Meadow Birthday Greetings

Hi Friends!   

It’s time for the SUO139 “Cards in Wintertime” Challenge and I decided to create another card using the new Occasions Mini set, In the Meadow along with the sentiment from Rose Wonder.

To me, Wintertime is a time of watching wildlife- from the gorgeous deer in the fields and birds at the feeders.  I just love this new stamp set and how you can mask the images to create different scenes.

I have also incorporated the Paper Craft Crew PCCC175Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge (Deer, Winter, Watercolor) along with the SU-Per Challenges #118  Sketch.

 I hope you will have a chance to check out my sister Design Team member samples at the SU-Only Challenge site as well as the fantastic Design Team samples at the both the Paper Craft Crew and Su-Per Challenges sites- wonderful inspiration from all!

This card was fairly simple to create- create a mask for the snow bank and stamp the deer image onto Whisper White cardstock, create a mask for the deer image and stamp the mountains along with the pine trees (from Lovely As A Tree).

Color the image with an AquaPainter™ using ink from Stampin’ Write markers, cut the image out with the Circle Framelits™ and mount onto another circle cut from Tip Top Taupe.

Create the banner from Going Places DSP using the Banner Framelits™ (also cutting the same size banner from Tip Top Taupe cardstock).

Emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, trim and mount onto Tip Top Taupe cardstock, trim and mound onto the Basic Black card base.

Adhere the layered banner directly to the embossed panel on the card front and mount the focal image using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Add the sentiment banner along with the Natural Linen Thread bow and Antique Brad to finish off the card.
