The man in my life is my friend of 34yrs and husband of 29 of them! He is a very outdoors person, loves the forest immensely and has hunted in them since he was 12 yrs old. He comes alive every fall as the days shorten and cool , the birds head south and the 'rut' begins. It is his time of year and I become a hunter's widow, I call it my 'crafting time':O)!
Card details:
Stamp:Via Las Vegas stamp: sentiment computer generated, Stampin' Up's 'banner blast'
Punch: circle punch, one hole punch,round corner punch ,Stampin' Up's 'petite banner' punch
Colour medium: stamped image with versa-mark and used Stampin Up 'Early Espresso' embossing powder to heat emboss the moose and give it it's colour
Paper: Stampin' Up's garden green, whisper white, chocolate chip:
Other: twine, brads
Technique: heat/wet embossing using background stamps and the moose stamp. The heat embossing on the moose looked great IRL but I could not take a decent picture of it and I tried everything from outdoor light to a picture box. I ended up digitally enhancing the colouring of the moose to make it presentable to post.

Beautiful Glenda. I love the greens. By the way I have been meaning to tell you the white pen I use and the best one is a Sharpie Poster Paint Marker in White with Extra Fine Point. I have tried so many of them and this one is the best. But it has to be the Poster Paint one. I cannot find it where I live so I order it online at www.misterart.com I always order more than one...lol Hope this helps...Hugs, joann
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Joann, I will take a look for it and also check out the web site. Thanks so much!
DeleteJust so perfect for a guy. Love the monochromatic green and the silhouette image.
