Christmas card

 The challenge this week at Christmas Card Challenge was to use wood grain on the card.  This turned out very non-traditional  as far as color is concerned because I ran with the wood theme. It's pretty cute, though.  I cut a window in the card base using a Spellbinder nestability die and then cut a hole in the wood grained paper (DCWV) with the next larger die.  You can see below that there is a hole in the top layer.  I stamped the deer through the window so it would be centered.  I used Versamark ink and embossed it with black Martha Stewart embossing powder.  I bought the stamps 2 or 3 Christmases ago at Michael's and I don't have the information about them anymore.  The buttons are some I picked up at Tuesday Morning and the twine is Martha Stewart baking twine that was in my stash.

I used my Corner Chomper to round 2 of the edges and inked around some of the edges with Distress ink (vintage photo).
