Rustic Christmas

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built.  This week we have a fun Tic Tac Toe board for you:
  

Here is what I created for your inspiration:

 What a fun challenge!!  I think tic-tac-toe challenges are my favorite as you can pretty much create your own challenge.  I used the first column: Wildlife (deer), Texture (embossing folder and lots of layers), Stencil (deer).  But I also used: Tall Card ('cause it's kind of fun and I had some premade bases already), Dimension and Kraft, Red and Black.  So, the deer is actually made with a stencil and Black Soot Distress Oxide ink and I added a red rhinestone to make him a Rudolph; such a fun touch.  I made my own patterned paper for the lower half using two different snowflake stamps and a random dot stamp.  Then I embossed it with a wood grain embossing folder to give it a more woodsy feel.  Some fun plaid papers and this definitely has a "Country Christmas" feel to me.  And another card finished for my Christmas stash!  Yeay!

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this photo.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.
