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.

Our amazing sponsor is 
The  Prize: 5 images (winners choice) and 30% off coupon for any colouring pages on his Etsy store.  Wow!!
If you’re not familiar with his work I suggest you pop along to his shop and check out the stunning images there. I promise you will not be disappointed.

The image I have been lucky enough to use is called




I used Promarkers to colour the image.
The Cherry blossom paper is from an old set by McMahon Design – sadly I can no longer find these online to add the link.
The tag was made using a Go Kreate die – Concentric tag # 1
The sentiment was printed onto the paper on the PC before it was die cut.
I cut a smaller square of the same paper so that I could decoupage it onto the larger square to add dimension to the card.
I fussy cut the image and added some Tonic diamond glitter to the dots in her hair.
Personally I feel that these images are so beautiful that cards need very little in the way of embellishments.
