Hello,

Today’s card was inspired by a card layout challenge the DOswts#321.

Here is a diagram of the layout.

A layout like this with all the dimensions is a dream come true when throwing together a quick card. I like to keep a ring binder with layouts that I gather. They don’t usually include measurements though, just my rough sketches when I see a card on Pinterest that I like.

At first, I stamped the moose with the hat and scarf, but I didn’t like the way the scarf stamped over his dark body. Plan B – stamp the hat and scarf on separate pieces of paper, cut out and glue onto the moose. I did like this look better.

If the center strip with the deer is too busy, use a piece of plain cardstock instead. I just really liked the plaid designer series paper, but maybe I went a bit over board with it?
