*Cut It Up - Crafters Companion & Impression Obsession dies
This is called a bridge card following the Christmas in July theme. The buck in the trees is a Sheena Douglas Christmas Deer die frame from the Scenic Winter Perfect Partners Collection that also has stamps to match which is what the snowy trees background is, all by Crafters Companion. The doe, fawn and birds are from Impression Obsession and dazzles from Paper Wishes. The sentiment is a stamp from Stampendous and I covered the tree branches and ground with Snow Tex. The matte, mirror and glitter papers are a luxury cardstock also from Crafter's Companion.
**FYI** Just thought I'd pass this little tidbit of info I just happened to stumble upon. I used stayz-on ink for the senti because regular ink smears on matte and mirror papers and I thought, "Uhhg! My new stamp was stained for life!" But, oh contrare!! Being copic certified and knowing copics, as well as most permanent markers are alcohol based, I wondered if stayz-on ink was alcohol based as well and came to find out, it is! And, if you wash your stamp with alcohol and give it a good scrub, (I used a toothbrush) right after you use it, you can get 90-95% of the stayz-on ink off your stamp. How cool is that!! No more unsightly stained stamps, unless, you're ok with that. (Guess I'm just easily thrilled or OCD!)
That's it for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by.
Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along, your awesome!
Blessings!

Thrilled with your tip! I wonder if it would work on stamps that have been stained for awhile. I might give it a try.
What a sophisticated looking card. I love the forest scene you've created.
