For this challenge, I made a Christmas card using a beautiful reindeer stamp. It is one of the most realistic reindeer stamps I've ever seen!
I started by inking my background with distress inks and spritzed them with a light spray of water to make the "snow". I let that dry very well. In the meantime, I die cut the snow drifts and the Tis the Season sentiment. Once I knew the background was good and dry, I stamped the Reindeer stamp (small) onto the inked background. I stamped the Reindeer with VersaFine Clair ink in Nocturne. All I had to do was glue the pieces of the card together and I was done!

ReplyDeleteWOW, Julie, that sky is absolutely stunning! The reindeer silhouette is exquisite. If this arrived in my mailbox, I'd have to frame it and hang it on my craft room wall.

Wow, Julie! Such a fabulous, magical use of colors! Is he watching for Santa's sleigh? I think so. He's waiting for the others, so they can begin the night time trip around the world! It's a wonderful card in every way. Thank you for the inspiration - I didn't know how to use this stamp. Now I want it. hugs, de
