This week we are welcoming the lovely Nikki aka Addicted To Art into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

Please pop by to see what our super talented guest and team have made!!

I made a thank you card using a beautiful AAll &Create Deer Clear Stamp Set. Isn't she beautiful!



I coloured the deer with distress inks and fussy cut, I do wish there was a coordinating die though ;-) I shaped her using an embossing tool and popped her into a Trinket Frame along with a few of Tim's lovely new Metallic Droplets ;-)

For the background I used Simon's Exclusive Birch Column and Woodgrain Block Dies and a selection of Distress Oxide Inks.  I stamped the ink pads onto a craft mat, spritzed with water and then smooshed the watercolor paper into the puddle, drying with a heat tool between each color. 


and I finished the inside using a CZ Designs All The Thanks Stamp and Die Set



Thanks for looking :-) 

So now it's YOUR turn!

Your trees turned out awesome. The smooshing technique gave them such a realistic look. The doe turned out gorgeous, and I love the addition of the twine.

Thanks for sharing your project with us at Cut it Up for our Thanks + Smooshing! challenge!

I love all the elements you added to your card and the smooshing technique came out so neat on your birch trees. Such a beautiful card! Thanks for playing along with us at Cut it Up.
