Create With Stamping Friends-Inspiration Monday 403

Autumn Trees, Amber Autumn & Autumn Toile!

Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is one full of nature:

We have a huge population of deer and moose in Maine. So much so that specific dates are set aside each year for our hunters. That’s how Maine controls the animal population so it doesn’t get out of control and there are lots of car accidents involving these creatures as well.

Today I am using the Autumn Trees Bundle, a sentiment from the Amber Autumn stamp set and the Autumn Toile Designer Paper. I created this cute scenery with our inspiration photo theme:

The deer diecut is actually long on the ends and I glued it to the front of my layers and diecut everything together for the shape from the Nested Essential Dies:
