Oh Deer!

Hello everyone,

The new year is already upon us and I hope yours is off to a great start!  Everything here is still covered in a blanket of pretty snow, which inspired my creation.

When I first saw the Stampin' Up In the Meadow set I knew I had to have it.  There are so many scenes you can create using these stamps.


The deer and branches were all stamped in StazOn Saddle Brown onto Shimmery White paper.  I then colored the deer with Prismacolor pencils and sponged the sky in Bashful Blue.


I used a VersaMarker pen so I could precisely dab the branches where I wanted the glitter to stick as well as around the grass and ground.  Next, I sprinkled heat & stick powder and used a heat gun until it turned clear then finished with dazzling diamonds.  I wish you could see it better in the photos.


I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with family and friends.

And now we welcome the new year.  Full of things that have never been.
