Reindeer - smile!

 Hi Everyone, my card today was made when I saw a challenge I couldn't resist. Must be my sense of humour or something!

Anyhow, I knew I had this Elk in my files, he always makes me smile whenever I come across him. I went looking for a sentiment or quote to suit the challenge and him, and found one. So off to my 'puter and Cameo and print and cut the image 3 times, also selecting the antlers and cutting 2 each of those and the quote for the front of the card. 

I was going to leave him as he was, but decided to add some shrubs to keep him company, so I brushed over some green for a distant background and then stamped the shrubs, colouring them slightly.

The antlers were coloured, then the body, they were all attached, and then a white pen was added to his teeth, 3D glaze was added to his eyes, those perfect teeth and hooves. He was placed onto the card front with the quote, which were then attached to a brown card base and glued to the front of the card base.

image - Beccy's Digital stamp
inks - Distress Inks, brushed corduroy, vintage photo, walnut stain, gathered twigs, forest moss, mowed lawn,
white pen - Uniball
quote - web
stamps - Chocolate Baroque, Trees a Crowd
brown card - stash


you may be able to see the 3D glaze?  You can see the layers of the antlers.

  18. I can see why this little chap makes you smile whenever you see him, who could resist that cheesy grin?

    Fabulous card, your attention to detail is second to none, I love how you created the bushes and your little touches to the teeth eye and hooves. And the sentiment suits him so very well.

  21. Very funny card!! I wish I had something with which to cut my images. Your card looks so good in "3D"!

  22. Love it Faith!! The sentiment gave me a good chuckle... I think most of us can relate to those long photo sessions when you're trying to hold a smile but end up looking as though you're just gritting your teeth!
    You did a fantastic job with the colouring, the texture on the elk is wonderful and the background looks terrific. I think it was a good decision to fill in the space behind him. Fabulous!
    Cheers,
    Beccy
