Hello. Welcome. I am feeling super inspired. I hope the mojo is with you too. I think it's something to do with the happy mail which is dropping through the mail box. I ordered a few things before Christmas but they obviously got held up in the rush. In a way that's good, cos it was way too hectic before Christmas to play, so now is actually a perfect time for these little packages to arrive. I've already used these two new dies HERE, but Die-Namites posted their challenge today and it seemed to fit perfectly with an idea I had. Except for the pink!! That wasn't in my original idea
I've used my new Die-Namites dies, Deer Birch Background and Floral Deer, minus the leafy antlers, and combined with my old favourites, distress inks. The background die was cut from black card, but I didn't cut the bottom edge so the deer remain attached to the ground. The single deer was cut from card coloured with pink distress inks. Again I didn't cut the bottom of the die so the deer stays attached to the ground. I then cut this to shape with a knife. I mounted this deer on foam pads.
The top of the panel was a ripped edge which had been well inked. I liked it but it was too high for the card so I ripped a piece off. TOO MUCH!!! So I tore the detached piece in half, inked all the edges and layered all the pieces back together. I think it adds an interesting feature to the top of the card. Then I added a pointy banner which I stamped with a sentiment and stars from YNS Diva Jade set.

The dies are perfect, Gail, but how you use them is what's amazing here. I have a difficult time using pinks, but your have done such a great job here with shading that you may just have inspired me to try again! Great works coming out of your studio in 2015!!
