…everything is softer and more beautiful


Sharing what could quite possibly be the only individualised Christmas card I make this year featuring the cute Little Reindeer stamp from Gerda Steiner Designs.


For my layout I’ve followed the current sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch, I just made it into a square instead of a rectangle.  I used layers of mats for interest and some messy foiling and embossing (see a great YouTube on this technique by Dawn Woleslagle here) for my background.

Over at The Paper Players they have a colour palette to play with.  I’ve used the Seaside Spray and Crumb Cake as my cardstock layers.  I tried to get a brown that was similar to the Crumb Cake to colour up my cute little reindeer.  I did add a couple of other colours in the lightbulbs and decorations hanging off his antlers and I couldn’t help but do his nose red for the most famous reindeer of all!  Instead of colouring the lightbulbs that were part of the stamp I’ve stuck some Darice mini ones over the stamped ones for my only embellies.

As I’ve featured one of her gorgeous stamps on my card, I am also linking this up at Gerda Steiner Designs where they always play anything goes.

Speaking of anything goes challenges, that’s always our theme at Bizzy Bec’s too.  So why not link up a project and be in the draw to win five digi stamps of your choice.  You can find our December challenge here.
