Ripped Paper and Fussy Cuts for Friday Mashup

Hello and happy first Friday of October! Can you believe it's October already? October is a mixed bag for me, lots of sadness associated with this month but also a lot of fun things to look forward too...like Friday Mashup challenges!This week our challenge is brought to us by Tara and she wants to see ripped paper and fussy cut images on our projects. Now, I fussy cut quite often so you'd think this would have been an easy challenge for me but nope, it had me stumped. Maybe it was the ripped paper portion, I don't know, but I came down to the wire on getting this card done LOL

I ended up creating a Christmas card using the set Remembering Christmas from the holiday catalog. This deer image will also be great for making masculine cards throughout the year! Anyway, I stamped it in Early Espresso and then cut it out. I mounted it with dimensionals on some ovals I cut out using Nestabilities dies. The paper is from the retired DSP Candlelight Christmas. I thought it looked like pretty wallpaper...perfect for hanging a deer against ;)

I stamped the sentiment below the ripped DSP in Early Espresso and added some Very Vanilla candy dots in the upper corners as I thought it looked a little plain.

Make sure you head over to  The Friday Mashup blog to check out the rest of the great projects from the DT, and then play along with us!
