Guest Designer for Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge! (Card #2!)

Today I am sharing a second card I created this month as Guest Designer for Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge .  I paired up wood grain and buffalo plaid for this Christmas deer scene.  I created the "wood grain" look by scoring a white piece of cardstock and then swiping an ink pad over it.

This month’s theme is Masculine cards, be sure to link up your card(s) for this month’s challenge for the chance to win a prize - this month’s sponsor is Rubbernecker Stamps!     

I have had such fun this month as Guest Designer for Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge, thank you for having me!

Dogs and Coffee Make Everything Better!

I was asked to create a card for someone who recently broke their arm.  When I learned that they love dogs and coffee, I thought Slim's Whims stamp set would be the perfect fit for this card!

I used the fabulous Warp Speed stencil by A Colorful Life Designs on an ink-smooshed panel and then colored the image with Copic Markers.
