I actually bought this moose die back when I was on the Merry Monday DT, with the intention of using it for the challenge as I had nothing at all with a moose on it. Well, in the meantime, I dropped from the DT and I nearly let this week slip by without making a moose card!
I was inspired by Michele's card in relation to the layout and the pattern on the top 2/3 of the card. I didn't use patterned paper, but did make a watercolored panel to resemble a snowy night sky. I also used gold for the sentiment.
I did color the moose with a brown Copic and then use a towel and some colorless blender fluid to give a "furry" finish but it's barely visible against the brown cardstock.
Thanks for visiting.
