I had lots of fun creating my wood. I started by stamping some of the tree trunks directly on the card using second generation impressions. Then I stamped a couple which I embossed with clear powder. Then I created the background using Distress inks - I went for an late evening sunset with a warm glow at the bottom of the image and the night sky starting to come in at the top. I stamped another three trees in darker brown, heat embossed them with clear powder and cut them out. I stamped the little deer and the bird on white card, coloured with Copic markers, cut them out and edged them with a black marker. I adhered the extra trees and cute animals to the card. I used a white gel pen to add some accents and some snow falling - see the snow on his nose! I finished the front with a pun sentiment. On the inside I cut a mat layer of design paper and added a greeting to the white panel.
As this card has features furry animals I'm submitting it to the current challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge - CIC#331, and the sunset glow means I'm playing along with Inkspirational - INK#93 where the cue word is GLOW.

You've used some great techniques on your card this week Deborah. I love those cute little Christmas critters. And the inside of your card is just as beautiful (as always), in fact, you inspired me to pay attention to the inside of my card this week, so a big thank you from me. Hugs, Gill xx
