We've got a great challenge for this week at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog. It's called Let It Snow. So since I love anything snowflake this was an extremely fun challenge for me. I actually made my card quite simple because I really wanted to use my new Hero Arts stamp of the Reindeer and I wanted him to be center stage. This is definitely one of my most favorite stamps of the season.
The snowflake border punch is from Martha Stewart. I punched out the border twice and cut up the second strip for the snowflakes on the top of the card.
I stamped the Reindeer onto a piece of patterned paper from Kaiser Craft. I cut it out and then adhered it on top of another image of the reindeer that I stamped on white paper cut into a circle with my Spellbinder's circle dies.
Then I colored a clear gem with a R29 Copic marker and stuck it on the nose of the reindeer. Then I applied Stardust Stickles to the antlers to give them some sparkle.
I cut another circle out of patterened paper that was from the next size up of my Spellbinders circles dies and then the largest scalloped circle. Then I layered them all together and adhered the stack with foam dots to my card base.
Hey, don't forget that there is a $25 gift certificate to the Simon Says Stamp online store given away each week to a random participant.
Very cute card, Christine! I love the snowflakes and the bling you used for Rudolph's nose! :)
