Birthday card with deer

Here is another birthday card that I made for my other nephew. He will also turn 17 in early November, but I made the card earlier so that I could give it to him in person. One of his favourite animals is deer this is why I chose the Prancing Deer (660033) by Tim Holtz.

The background

I already had the background, I made it for something else, but I didn't use it. For this, I used the starry background stamp from the Christmas Nostalgia (CMS207) stamp set. I stamped them twice next to each other because I wanted a bigger background.

Then I started to ink with blue and brown Distress inks (Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans, Ground Espresso). The lighter colours to the middle and the darker around the edges.

The cut-outs

I cut out the deer from brown paper with textured surface. You can find the balloon in the Celebrate Colorize set (666285). I coloured with red Distress inks. For the numbers I chose the Alphanumeric Label (664177).

The text

The text is an MFT stamp, it's called Bitty Birthday Wishes.

With my card, I would like to join the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Add Some Text
