Lexi's Creations Challenge #115,' for the man in your life'.  The challenge will run April 28th, 2014 - May 10th , 2014. Please join us, I'm so looking forward to seeing your creations and while visiting be sure to check out the work by my team mates  at Lexi's Creations, they are a very talented group!!

                                             My New Store :D

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.

  10. 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
