* EDIT - sorry my post is so late - the kitchen fitter moved everything on Thursday morning so I couldn't get to my computer until today *
In all honesty I was going to skip this week as I literally cannot get to my craft desk at the moment due to all the kitchen appliances being delivered. My room has a fridge/freezer, tumble dryer, washing machine, oven and microwave in the middle of the room so I didn't think I could get anything done. Who knew you could create on top of a washing machine box lol! I did find the image already stamped, coloured and die cut so that was a big help but I got there, even if it's not 100% perfect. I hope you like it.
Here is my card:
A close up of the cute reindeer:
Plus I decorated the inside:
As I mentioned the reindeer was left over from last year, she even had foam squares already on the back! I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and stamped the peace, love, joy words in black ink. I then decided to cut a red panel using a scalloped die so that meant I had to cut my white panel much smaller (3 1/2" x 4 3/4"). I coloured the words using Promarkers. I added the white panel onto the red panel with foam tape and the reindeer was also added with foam squares. The red panel was added to my card base with double sided tape. As a finishing touch I added some red sequins. For the inside I cut a white panel, stamped the reindeer in kraft ink in the left bottom corner and a sentiment in the upper centre with black ink. I matted this with a red panel using double sided tape and it was added to the card base again with double sided tape. A super cute card and it took very little time to make. I wasn't sure if there was too much red but I think it makes the reindeer stand out.
