Reminder - Christmas Kickstart Challenge #114 - Reindeer Games

Hi everyone.  I'm Guest Designing this month at Christmas Kickstart Challenge #114 - Reindeer Games.  I'm so happy to be working with Jo again ... she is so sweet and wonderfully talented.  Thanks again Jo!  

 

I'm back with a reminder card using a favourite stamp I've used many times before.  This little guy makes me happy. :)

He is stamped in black pigment ink, heat embossed in clear, die-cut with matching die, watercoloured with distress inks, and then a few finishing touches are added with crystal glaze and white acrylic pen.  It is popped over top of a piece of long retired SU! patterned paper and two torn pieces of white cardstock provide snowhills at the bottom.  The panel is popped up, and a sentiment (Season's Gifts - Penny Black) is stamped under the panel with the same black ink.

Close-up ...
There's still lots of time to play along at Christmas Kickstart Challenge #114 - Reindeer Games.  Hope to see you in the gallery!
