I used a snippet of kraft card for a different look and stamped using Archival ink which I then heat embossed using WOW Clear Embossing Powder. I decided to use my Spectrum Noir pencils to add a bit of colour and I used a white SN pencil in conjunction with a white gel pen to add little bits of white for snow mainly on the tree trunk and branches and also on the hills behind which I added for a bit of background interest. The colours of the hills are a little bluer in the photo than in real life as I wanted them to be a more dark bluey grey with snowy tops but the kraft card does affect the way the colours look, but am fairly happy with the result.
I used a snippet of copper mirri card to back the image and also die cut a sentiment from the same snippet, and then mounted it on an A6 base card. I nearly always use square cards but I only have this shape of card in kraft and some extra sheets which are 8" x 8" so not big enough to make a folded 6" x 6" card.
Thanks for stopping by today.

I'm loving this kraft look and your pencil work is just magnificent on this one. A wonderful scene to have with this deer, and your hills look great to me - Also love the copper sentiment & mat...adds just the right amount of gleam to the muted shades of the composition. Really gorgeous. TFS, Happy wkend, Hugs
A super card for a man Pat. A lovely stamp and beautifully coloured as usual. I like the effect of doing it on kraft card as well.
