Winter Solace Challenge at The Card Concept

Are you ready for another FUN challenge with a beautiful inspiration photo?  Well, if so, you're in luck.  We have a fabulous Winter Solace Challenge starting today over at The Card Concept and we really hope that you will join us.  There's so much fabulous inspiration on The Card Concept Blog to get you started.  You don't have to take anything in the photo literally.  It's just a starting point for your own creativity.

I used basic black cardstock for the base layered with basic white cardstock for the background.  I rubbed the background using a cool moon stencil, and I used some Luxe Glaze for the stars.  I cut the trees using the same colors of oxide ink (Fossilized Amber and Hickory Smoke) by using Tim Holtz Tree Dies.

The deer and the stamped sentiment I used are both found in the Farmhouse Christmas Stamp Set.  The deer was hand cut, and I raised it up with White 3-D Foam Tabs.  I sprinkled the trees with ultra-fine white glitter.  That's about it.  Pretty simple.  What elements of this inspiration photo speak to you?

I really loved the sparkly trees, the deer and these wonderful colors.  You can use any of these elements that you like; or you can come up with your own design.  It's all open to your interpretation and we're looking forward to seeing where your creativity takes you.

Thanks for visiting me today.  Be sure to stop by The Card Concept Blog to join the fun.  We look forward to having you play along in this fun challenge.  Have a wonderful week, my creative blog friends.

Cards 4 Guys Challenge - Challenge #363 - Tic-Tac-Toe - My tic-tac-toe is across the top (Animal, Snow, Silver) but I also have other elements including Tree, Texture and Snow.
