Hello everyone, we're getting close to Christmas so I've got another Christmas card to share with you today.  

 

 Supplies Used:  Sweet Reindeer Clear Stamp 30693, Pinecone Border Metal Cutting Die 26083, Triple Banner Metal Cutting Die 25924, Crisp Christmas A5 12pc Sentiment Sheets 19772.  Other supplies: Copper heat reactive toner foil, Nuvo Crystal Drops in Red Berry, Nuvo Glitter Drops in Golden Sunset, Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff in White.

 

I started this card by stamping the image onto 80# Neenah Solar White cardstock and then using my Copic markers to colour it in.  I'm sorry, but I forgot to write down which markers I used. I fussy cut the image out and added some Ranger Glossy Accents to the candy cane and the berries on the deer's head.  

Next, I die cut the Pinecone border from white cardstock and used my Copic markers to colour the pine leaves and the pinecones.  I added some brown cardstock behind the pinecone to give it dimension, and then trimmed around the edges. Then I cut the pine branches off and separated the pinecones.  

I did a little ink blending behind the reindeer using Catherine Pooler inks in Hot Tub and Matcha colours.  I created an arrangement over this with the pine branches and pinecones.  I was hoping to make it look like the animals were in a forest setting, but you have to really use your imagination for that! Once I had everything where I wanted it, I glued it all down.  

I die cut the outline section of the Triple Banner die from white cardstock that I had foiled by placing double sided adhesive on and then adhering to the foil. I die cut the sentiment from the sentiment sheet by placing the last segment of the Triple Banner die set over it.  I foiled the sentiment in my laminator using the same copper coloured foil (it is shiny in real life). Then I positioned the sentiment below the reindeer scene and made sure some of the pine branches fell over it.  

Finally, I added the Nuvo drops randomly around the branches and added the Fluffy Stuff and heat set that to make it puff up.

Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope I've given you some inspiration.
