Tiled Deer

This is the card I made for my dad using the technique challenge from SCS to do the deer panel.  All products are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise specified.

I scored my paper all the way across in both directions.  using the INDENTED SIDE, I stamped my Noble Deer on vanilla in stazon brown.  You need to stamp on the side the is not raised, so you get the lined look.  I then sponged the edges with close to cocoa.  I matted this on mellow moss and not quite navy.

I sponged the edge of my creamy caramel base with close to cocoa and then used my new Cutter Bee Bugs tool, to do the faux stitching on the bottom.  I used my Karen Foster snap stamps(discontinued) to do the sentiment in chocolate chip and then put the brads under it.

I used my aged copper hodge podge buckle and threaded on the twill tape.  I first rubbed my twill on my chocolate pad, to make it darker.

I think I should have used a more solid stamp, to truly achieve the look, but I like this card too.  May have to try another this afternoon.  Have fun and happy stamping!!
