Moose friends

Hello everyone, here is my second project for the LOVE challenge of the Country View Challenges. This month I am the lucky one who can be your hostess. The theme is love but I don't want to limit your imagination so you can visualize any love. Love for your husband or wife, daughter or son, brother or sister, your dog or cat, or maybe for your job or hobby...

This card is about the love between two good friends. The inspiration for this card was one of my earlier cards with these moose, it was a black and white love card. But I just realized lately that my love card is not correct, because the female moose don't have antlers. Well, I'm not proud of the lack of my zoological knowledge. 

The first layer of this card was a white folded card base.

The second is a brown cardstock. I inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress ink.

For the sky, the ground, the sun, the text and for the tree, I used the back sides of the printed papers from Tim Holtz 8x8" paper pads (Menagerie, Seasonal). 

I smeared the edges of the background with white paint and distressed the top of the green paper.

The text was stamped with Ground Espresso Archival ink.

What I used:

Sizzix Thinlits die, Merry Moose

Sizzix Thinlits die, Stitch Circles

Stampers Anonymous, Hashtags (CMS183)

Ranger Distress Archival ink (Ground Espresso)

Ranger Distress ink (Walnut Stain)

Ranger Distress paint (Picket Fence)

Idea-Ology, Paper Stash 8x8" (Menagerie, Seasonal)

kraft papers

etc.

I hope you like it!!! And if you have a project in the theme of love, please don't hesitate to join our January challenge where you can win a £20 voucher!

Merry Moose in love

Well, for our January challenge - Cityscape or Landscape - as a second inspirational project I chose the landscape instead of the cityscape and I made a wintry card with Merry Moose by Tim Holtz which turned into a Valentine's Day card.

In December I created a Christmas card with Merry Moose that I really loved (and that was loved by you too) so I decided to use that design with slight changes. First of all, this one is colourless, because I wanted to make a black and white picture.

And because the Valentine's Day is approaching, somehow I wanted to customize it for the upcoming celebration.

On my linked blogpost, you can find a detailed tutorial about how you can make a landscape like this. The only difference is that here I chose Grey Sky, Slate Grey and White Wash DecoArt Americana paints for the background.

I was thinking a lot where to put the only red tiny heart and I, in the end, chose the rump part instead of the shoulder to make my card more playful. 

You can find this tiny heart in the Sizzix Thinlits Crazy Things die set.

I hope you like my card with these cute moose!!!
