birthday wishes 21

Hi! Today I have a birthday card x 2 to share. I really struggle creating masculine cards so since I had to make a birthday card for my dear husband, I made one for a male friend of ours.

I created a water colored background then layered on a die cut forest scene:

I embellished with a double layered die cut snowflake and a die cut male deer then randomly spattered acrylic white paint in hopes of making it appear like snow.

For color inspiration, I'm joining along with the Inspired by All The Little Things challenge:

as well as the CAS Mixed Media card challenge where I combined stamping, watercouloring, die-cutting, splatter, stains and sprays:

Many thanks for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)
