This week I think Studio L3 and Simon Says Stamp and Show collaborated on the challenge. Both involved distress inks. The Compendium challenge is double distress ink on page 40. At Simon it is any project using distress ink. Distress inks are used in so many of my projects that this was perfect for a busy Thanksgiving week.
I also put together a December Daily each year thanks to the inspiration of Ali Edwards. My family enjoys looking back at these and Devon is making one also this year. This weeks piece will be incorporated into one of my pages.
Here is my entry. The white deer has not been altered in any way because it reminded me of the white deer I would often see in this particular spot of land across from Seneca Lake outside of Geneva NY. Until I saw one with my own eyes I didn't believe they existed. They do and they are gorgeous to behold. They make me think of winter and snow.
It is now time for the mad dash over the hills and through the woods to Grandmother's house we go. If you celebrate Thanksgiving have a wonderful day!

Lovely piece.....the white deer is very effective.

I love the double distressing. Great way to show off the technique.

Great use of the technique - I wondered if you didn't use Scrabble tiles for the letters when I saw the thumbnail. My parents live on the south-east side of Seneca outside Watkins Glen and have never mentioned the white deer. Maybe the vineyard (bird) cannons scare them off.

This is beautiful, Sandi! Your double distressed background looks awesome, and the way you used the Scrabble tiles and metallic bits is great. I love the white deer! What an amazing experience it must have been to actually see one with your own eyes!!! This is a gorgeous tribute to that magical experience.
