Stick It Down cards

Hello! I'm back today with cards I made using the Stick It Down card sketches from December and January. First up is the December sketch: 

I started by cutting the circle background using my Cricut. I covered the front of my card base with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink by dragging the inkpad over the paper. I cut the circle from kraft cardstock and stamped the deer. I used watercolor pencils to color the deer and add the clouds. I didn't blend them with water, I liked the look of the pencil strokes. I finished off the card with a printed sentiment strip.

Next up is the January sketch:

I got a set of masks that create a plaid pattern, so I started with those on my card front. I also got a Big Shot and some dies for Christmas, included a set of postage stamp nesting dies. I used those dies to cut the frames. I cut my cirlce and stamped the cupcake. I also stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it. Once those were all added to the card front, I added some Stickles to the cupcake and a sprinkling of paper sequins (also a die set I received for Christmas) finished off the card.
