Lost in the Woods


I had a bit of trouble when making this card. I stamped the kraft card with my Hero Arts woodgrain stamp and then put it aside while I made other elements. When I went to stick it all together, I couldn't finds the kraft layer. I spent ages searching for it until I gave up and cut a new piece, and just as I was inking up the stamp I noticed the original piece was right in front of me .....the stamping was so realistic it had 'disappeared' into the wooden table!

The reindeer was an image from a CD that I brought into Silhouette Studio, traced, cut and stamped with the woodgrain stamp. The white trees and 'noel' are also Silhouette cuts and the clock dial is a Tim Holtz die which I spray with gold mist.  I used snowfall acetate over the top.

I'd like to enter:
City Crafter Wood and Frame - this challenge was my original inspiration - the clock dial as the frame and the woodgrain stamp for the wood. As I was linking up I realised that I might have slightly misinterpreted and sorry if I got it a bit wrong.

This combination of "wood" and white is beautiful! Love how you used the clock die for this winter/Christmas design!

Love how you've used your woodgrain stamp - I had to laugh at the thought of you losing the stamped piece on your table too!
Thanks so much for joining us at Our Creative Corner for this challenge.

Lol, yes it's slightly off topic, but a beautiful card nevertheless! And let me tell you a secret: my project for coming week is slightly off topic too :) Sometimes we just wander off, don't we :)
