Masculine Valentine

Last one for the day.  A lot of challenges completed.  The challenge for One Stop Challenge #66 was to use the colors of Apple Green, Clotted Cream, & Chocolate Chip.  Since this was male card (Our Creative Corner Challenge) I thought what perfect colors & also incorporate the Stamping 411 #137 sketch design.  The deer sketch if from my father that he drew for me to use years ago for a patch so I made one of these cards to give to him in March for his birthday to see if he remembers it.  I stamped SU Very Vanilla (didn't have Clotted Cream) the stamp out of the retired set of Backwoods in Chocolate Chip, overlayed with Green Galore (I thought looked like a green apple), Chocolate Chip, DSP Chirstmas Cocoa, & colored deer using Blender Pen & Pastels.  You can't see (should have used a different color ink but I oculd see it just looking at it) used the Valentine stamp out of Holiday Best in Chocolate Chip Ink attached with Soft Suede Polka dot grosgrain ribbon.  Used the Horizontal Punch for ribbon.
