#14 Glitter Reindeer

Today's sketch comes from March 2017:

Here's what I originally did:

I wanted to do a Christmas card in non-traditional colors, and somehow I ended up with a fun pink, green, and gray Reindeer card filled with some sparkle. I layered on a few pieces of DSP and found a stray piece of Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper at the bottom of my scrap box. Perfect to add that little bit of interest I wanted for the card. For my stamped image, I went with a Smoky Slate reindeer so I could overlay my sentiment in a darker color (in this case Berry Burst to sorta coordinate with the glimmer paper). As a last touch, I added a few Glitter Enamel Shapes as antler ornaments.

#13 Repeating Reindeer

Today's sketch comes from October 2013:

After pulling some interesting pattern papers to use as a base, I decided to play with my Merry Mistletoe stamp set and create a focal point. I layered some pieces, added a sentiment, and finished off the card with some gold foil washi tape.

#11 Silver Bells

Today's sketch comes from September 2016:

Here's what I originally did:

As a part of my challenge this month, I pulled out a ton of random scraps and created color story piles to help lessen my decision paralysis. For this card, I pulled from my silver and blue color story pile. I found a ton of great little pieces of scrap paper. It was just a material finding pieces that worked together. From the big pile I found all the pieces for this simple Christmas card. 

• Stamps: Merry Mistletoe
• Inks: Island Indigo
• Cardstock: Silver Glitter Paper; Island Indigo; random scraps

• Tools: Layering Circles Framelits

#1 Merry Reindeer

Today's sketch comes from June 2016.

And here was my original submission for the sketch:

On to my reimagined Christmas card... I flipped the card onto it's side after realizing the pieces I wanted to include wouldn't quite fit vertically. Once I realigned my thinking, I got to stamping and cutting! I love my new little reindeer stamp! He's just so cute! For this card, I stamped him in Black, layered some trees in Old Olive, and (hard to see in the picture) added some sparkle with Wink of Stella. 

• Stamps: Merry Mistletoe
• Inks: Basic Black; Cherry Cobbler; Old Olive
• Cardstock: Be Merry DSP; Merry Music DSP; Old Olive; Whisper White
• Accessories: 
• Tools: Stitched Shapes Framelits; Clear Wink of Stella
