The Wilderness Awaits - card 1

Over the next few days I am going to be posting cards made with the stamp set "The Wilderness Awaits".
This is the first card, and features the Elk?

• The base card is Chocolate chip cardstock, layered with Crumb Cake.
• The DSP is from the Go Wild DSP stack.
• The image itself was stamped with Black Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock, and coloured with Neutral markers and a combination of Aqua painter and blender pen.
• The clouds in the sky were formed using scallop circles and sponging on Marina Mist ink.
• After sponging the edges with Chocolate Chip ink, it was matted with Chocolate Chip cardstock and adhered to the left side of the card.
• At the upper right, two banners were made, one in Crumb Cake and Chocolate chip and they were attached to the image panel.
• The sentiment was stamped using the stamp set "Amazing Birthday".  Markers were used to colour the stamp.
• Two neutral buttons were attached with glue dots between the banners and the sentiment. Early Espresso baker's twine was formed into a bow and attached with a glue dot.
• Crystal Effects was applied to the word "Happy" in the sentiment, and 2 dots on each of the banners.
