This Moose be Love - Kitchen Sink Stamps

I have chosen to share a non-traditional masculine Valentine (or it could serve as an anniversary card) as this week's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design. It uses images from Mighty Moose and Birch Trees. The sentiments come from Mighty Moose, Coffee Mate Greetings, and Bold Holiday Greetings. The 3-D embossed tree ring background is by Sizzix. The heart-shaped die is by Spellbinders.

The moose and the birch trees were stamped on SVG cut files also available from Kitchen Sink Stamps for use with your electronic cutting device. I use the Cricut Joy to cut all of mine.

I have entered this card in the following challenges this week:

The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog - Challenge #190 Theme - Feeling Sentimental

Allsorts Challenge - Week 762 - Anything Goes

Alphabet Challenge Blog - T is for Texture

Craft Rocket Challenge - Challenge #110 - Use Embossing

Not Older - More Distinguished - Kitchen Sink Stamps

September finds me in need of a masculine birthday card so I added a digital sentiment from KSS' new Happy Birthday Banner Sentiment digi svgs (there are 8 fun banners to foil or print in this fun set) to images from Birch Trees and Mighty Moose for the rugged outdoorsman in my family! 

The birch trees and the moose were stamped on SVG cut files that are available at KSS to go with these stamps sets. I used Altenew inks on these images.

The clouds were created by dipping my finger tips in white acrylic paint and dabbing the wet paint on the blue cardstock panel.

This card has been added to the following challenges this week:

We Love 2 Create - Mixed Media - Anything Goes

We Love Stamping - Anything Goes with option of trees and leaves

Make the Moose of It - KSS

I never in a million years thought that today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card would be a snow scene, but when I woke up to this on the Texas Gulf Coast this morning, I knew I would want to change my design plans. The prediction is that snow and ice will stick around for most of the week. Many Texans north of me are without power, but so far I am still up and running. I am going to post this quickly should there be a rollout power outage as predicted.

While I didn't see any moose strolling down the street, I was inspired to pull out the Mighty Moose, the Snowy Pine Trees, and the Alpine Mountains to create this card!
