Reindeer Christmas Card

Hi Everyone,

I thought I’d better get in early this week with my Christmas Card for the
52 Christmas Card Throwdown as I missed the linky list last week!

Here it is…
P1030172

I’ve used a couple of different stamp sets, The Papertree one I used on the last card for the Reindeers and the bauble, a Crea8tive Life set for the banner and the Christmas sentiment came from another christmas set altogether!

This week it’s a sketch challenge…
52cct Sketch 2

I had a lot of fun with this card. Christmas Card Challenges this week is to make your own background. The reindeers were embossed in gold on cream cardstock and I’ve then sprayed my own home-made glimmer mist all over to create a hazy background in the 3 colours of the card (gold, red & green).
Then I sponged the edges in Burgundy to tie it all in with the base colour.
 Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge this week is to Use a Spray, so I’m entering this card over there too Smile

P1030175

The middle layer was dry embossed using a poinsettias folder and some gorgeous gold foil stickers were laid around the edges to finish it all off.

I’ve also decorated the inside with the Kaiser paper that was used at the bottom on the front of the card.

P1030174

I decided to cut a Christmas bauble shape from it, just for fun. Also, I’ll be able to use the circle I cut out on another card. Using It Up is what we are aiming for this year after all.
