Inspiration Station Challenge #37 - Autumn Splendor

Hello and Happy Monday!  It's the Labor Day Holiday here in the States so we will be going to the Lake for a leisurely lunch and boat ride this afternoon, but now I'm here to announce a new bi-weekly challenge round at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog.  

The Inspiration Photo #37 is:


What a beautiful scene!  I don't see Bucks this size here in Florida but when we lived in the Georgia countryside, they would come up to the house and eat corn I put out for them. The babies are just too precious! 

My project features a stamp set I received as a gift in a card swap so I have no idea who the maker is. 

I've colored the image using alcohol markers, the papers are from a Carta Bella 6x6 paper pad and the sentiment is from the Cardz TV Potpourri Stamp Set.  I've also been relying on card sketches lately.  This particular sketch is from Operation Write Home.


I don't have many Masculine cards in my stash so I jumped on the opportunity to create a birthday card with this image. It's nice to have one set aside and ready when I need it.

Please join us this round at The Inspiration Station.  We would love to see how Photo #37 inspires you.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

  5. What a wonderful deer image and I love how you have used it on your card. Such a good take on the inspiration photo and great to use it on a birthday card as often they are confined to Christmas cards, which is such a shame. thanks for sharing this beauty with us at we love stamping this week xx
