Cute Reindeer at CRAFT challenge


Please read my Data Protection and Privacy Policy – (page tab above)
Good Morning,
Today over at Craft challenge we have a new challenge and this week it’s
Christmas
Our generous sponsor for this challenge is….

For my DT project I chose…

So I have just decorated my craft room which necessitated a major clear out! I have ‘rediscovered’ many, many things that I have bought over the years and have forgotten about. I am ashamed to say some have never been opened.
One of these was this Tattered Lace Snow Globe die.
So I teamed it up with this gorgeous reindeer and a few bits of foliage cut with a cheapie die from Amazon and a poinsettia die cut from a freebie Tattered Lace die and here is my DT project.




The gorgeous papers are from We Are Three – Winter Serenity
The darling reindeer is coloured using Promarkers.
The sentiment was cut using dies from the Snow Globe set.
The snowflake acetate is from my stash.
