You're Such a Deer!

Sharing a birthday card I made for my niece.

Features  stamp sets from The Craft's Meow "Typically Teen and "Oh, Deer".

The design was inspired by their March sketch.

Papers are "Kissing Booth" by Basic Grey.

I love the Polaroid look so much.

This one was made using the "George" cartridge on my Cricut (had to practice first)

I saw a blog that suggested using the square Spellbinders dies and I now have them to try.

I think that will be easier.  

The banner was handmade.  

The deer was stamped on white paper, colored with Copics and cut out.

Merci

Used a couple challenge prompts to make a card this weekend.

Design from CAS(E) this sketch, colors from the 10 minute craft dash 
and papers inspired by BG challenge. 

This card took 10:18. I went over b/c I cut the arrow in a blue paper first and it didn't pop enough so I re-cut in the dark pink BG paper from the pad. Definitely a good move.

Card features a Purple Onion thank you stamp (Thanks AMY) and 

papers by Basic Grey and MME.

Supplies:

Stamp: Purple Onion

Ink:  Distress in Broken China

Papers:  Basic Grey "Kissing Booth" and MME

Other:  arrow die "Lead the Way" set by MFT
