Nature circle card

Today I have a card featuring a piece of mini-scenic stamping. It is for the Craft a Scene April challenge to use silhouette stamps and for the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge to create a project with a favourite word (I used one of my favourite words, 'nature').

The deer and the tree trunks were stamped on white cardstock with Archival Ink Sepia. A bit of texture was added with a bush stamp and then the scene was sponged with Distress Inks (Antique Linen and Vintage Photo). The background is kraft core cardstock which was cut into a circle, embossed and sanded.

To add to the nature feeling of the card, I die cut two leaves from a sheet of mica. I also found a home for one of the quilled fringed flowers I made for my tutorial in February. The sentiment was stamped with Archival ink Coffee on a tattered banner, which was first inked.

A close-up of the flower and mica leaves:

Thank you so much for looking!
