MTTCC 88 - Deer in Woods

Welcome to My Time to Craft Christmas Challenge 88! 

The theme for this challenge is a northern lights sky. 

I have made a lot of cards with the northern lights technique over the years... this challenge took me forever. I tried FIVE times to blend a sky that looked right... all of those ended up trashed. I finally did something a little different by using an overlay instead. I had everything done when I realized this was a CHRISTMAS challenge - I had embossed "thinking of you" on the card and used a summer tree and grass overlay... So it was back to the drawing board to create yet another sky. This one was covered with a birch tree overlay and I added a deer behind the trees. I also tore a piece of white glitter paper and placed that behind the trees. A sentiment was placed in the top corner and I used a white gel pen to add stars to the sky. 


Just for fun, this is the original card that I created... with the wrong sentiment! 

Come and join us at MTTCC and show us how you interpret this week's challenge. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,

Alyson

They are both gorgeous and now you have an extra card (I know, you have lots of extras, lol). I had to giggle, forgive me. But it reminded me of the time I had created this awesome card front and then stamped the sentiment upside down! Well, I did just stamp another one on a banner die cut and added it on top of my boo boo but the shock of what I did liked to kill me! heehee XOX
