I so love realistic wildlife stamps, they are an awesome choice for creating masculine cards. I am a little bummed though, I so wanted to share this complete stamp set with you. When I created this card… this stamp set was still available in limited quantities. Sadly, it is now sold out!
I am so thankful for the sketches at Mojo Monday. I was in a time crunch to complete this card…and the ever so helpful measurements at Mojo Monday helped my card come together quickly. Here is a look at the original sketch design-
My card is pretty basic. A few layers with papers from the Hawthorn Paper Collection, which is still available. I heat embossed my elk image and colored with Copics. I then fussy cut and applied to my layered circles. No frills, but perfect for a masculine card.
