Wolf Father's Day Card

Another Father's Day card using Nature Silhouettes, Lovely as a Tree, and the brayering technique.
First I masked off the moon and the bottom hill with post it notes. Then I brayered Daffodil Delight just above the hill; masked off the top portion and brayered Calypso Coral just above the Daffodil Delight. Removed the top mask and brayered Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant over that, then Not Quite Navy. Removed the moon mask and sponged a Daffodil Delight. Stamped the background trees in black; removed the bottom hill mask and sponged the hill in with Lucky Limeade and Always Artichoke. Stamped the front trees. Stamped the wolf at the top of the hill; sponged in a little bit of Soft Suede under the hill line and around the bottom edges. Used ticket punch on the top right corner, added word window in Lucky Limeade and Elegant Eggplant; added brads.
I feel accomplished because I have such a hard time making masculine cards : ) Thanks for looking!

Father's Day Nature

A simple brayered Father's Day card. This is the old Lovely as a Tree set and the sentiment from Nature Silhouettes. I masked the moon and brayered Daffodil Delight, Groovy Guava, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant and Not Quite Navy. Then stamped the trees in black. Added accents with modern label punch and brads.

Faux Leather Deer Coaster

I made this coaster in a set of 4 as a christmas gift last year.  My friend reports they have received many compliments and "where did you find those" question.  To create the aged leather look, I took a piece of crumb cake cardstock and sprayed lightly with water, then crumbled it up.  I flattened the crumbled paper out, then inked the crumbled creases with soft suede. Then I stamped the deer from nature silhouettes set using black stazon ink. I ran it through the big shot using an embossing folder similar to snake skin pattern. I affixed the paper to the ceramic tile using mod podge and glossed over the image using mod podge.
