A Peek Into The Forest

I just love the Forest Friends stamp set... it's classic animals are perfect for bright and colourful kids cards, but I wanted to create a card that shows how you could skew the set for a slightly older audience by introducing a softer colour pallet and more mature layout.

Here I've used Certainly Celery as the card base, layering Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry, and finally Very Vanilla again to display the stamped scene. We peek through the branches into the forest to spy a deer next to a small tree, both from the Forest Friends set... the tree is inked in Chocolate Chip and Old Olive, then sponged in Old Olive to add some depth. Our little deer is inked with Close to Cocoa, then Whisper White ink has been added to his chest, face and freckles using a blender pen, and his ears have been enhanced with a touch of Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White ink blended together. The branches and grass were created using stamps from the Pocket Silhouettes set, and were inked both in Old Olive and Certainly Celery. The greeting, inked in Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive, came from the now-retired Sale-a-Bration set called Yummy. A tranquil forest scene, sure to appeal to recipients of any age...
