This is one design I think will stick with me for a long time, I love everything about it, colors, splatters and the fact that you used a reindeer. I don't think I've used one for anything but Christmas projects myself.

Princess Judy Palmer said...

Deer and splatter! That's a great combination and makes a fine masculine card. I like this deer.

Donna said...

Charming masculine card Kitty! Like the deer and splatters! I'm with you, masculine cards are difficult. Have a wonderful weekend!

This is a great masculine card, Kitty. I love blues and browns. If I sent this to my grandson he'd already be counting the points on this buck.
