Masculine Deer Birthday Card

A friend of mine is celebrating a birthday in a few days and I always find it a challenge to create masculine cards. 

The Nature's Wish stamp set has some terrific animal images that has made that a little easier. The deer and the sentiment on this card are from that stamp set. I chose to use the Basic Fundamentals for my card as that is always a reliable go-to paper pack for anything. They are neutral colours and patterns and work with any other colours. I chose to add green as the grass was green so it was a natural colour addition. Around the stamped deer image, which was coloured with watercolour pencils and and blending pen, I just poked holes to simulate stitching. 


The card pattern is from the new Make It From Your Heart - Volume 4 and it is Pattern #5.

Products used are Close To My Heart unless otherwise indicated:

Paper: Basics Fundamentals, Espresso Cardstock, Mink Cardstock
Stamps: Nature's Wish, Springtime Wishes (ret.)
Inks: Fern, New England Ivy, Rich Cocoa Memento Ink (not CTMH)
Accessories: Watercolour Pencils, Blending Pen (ret.), Foam Tape, Enchantment Ribbon Collection (last year - ret.), Fern Twine (ret.), ShinHan Markers, Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts (ret.), Piercing Tool

Enjoy,
Alyson

Excellent masculine card and nice touch with the piercing around the focal point and the green really pulled it together nicely...handsome card.
