I love making Christmas cards that are personalized for the person receiving them.
I have a few guys on my card giving list who love the outdoors - hiking, wildlife and even camping in the winter. So masculine Christmas it is ....gulp!
I decided "Winter Moose" would be perfect for an outdoorsy themed, masculine card for one of the outdoorsy guys in my life.
After stamping my moose on some coloured pencil friendly paper, I coloured him using Prismacolor pencils. I am new to colouring with pencils so this was a challenge for me. I hand fussy cut him and ran a black marker around the edge to "finish" him off. Next, I created my scene with cardstock, patterned paper and dies. Love my Misti for perfect stamping position for my sentiment!
Some simple gumdrops finish off this CAS masculine Christmas card.
