Challenge: Tear It Up

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge for November 20, 2017 is 'Tear It Up!" we are to use something torn in our make.

I decided on a tag using blended Distress Oxide ink finishes and a torn piece of cardstock, heat-embossed with sparkly embossing powder (to represent snow-covered ground):

Next, I pulled several die-cuts from my 'tover stash, added sparkly embossing powder to two woodland tree and , blended "Walnut Stain" Distress Oxide on four die cut twigs from three different die sets. I then die-cut a stag from a fifth die set, arranged these items on the snowy background and using a Sign Uniball gel pen, dotted a few snowflakes in the sky:

The deer needed s little somethin-somethin so I added highlights on his antlers darkened his hooves, and added some eyes, a nose and some body contour lines. Then I die-cut a sentiment and attached a crinkle ribbon that had been stained in camo colors (a freebie from the Funky Junky Boutique). The result, a more-or-less masculine tag who'll could also serve for an outdoorsman prone to camouflage ...
