Hi everyone. I do really love this sweet image of a reindeer decorated and ready for Christmas! :) He looks so happy! :)
I added some embossing paste snow using Falling Snow stencil from Simon Says Stamp for the background, along with die-cut stitched snow hills. The stamp (Little Reindeer Stamp (Gerda Steiner)) is watercoloured using distress inks and used the same red distress ink to stamp the sentiment (two times to get it dark enough). Added a little spattering of snow on the reindeer with diluted gouache paint. The image was then die-cut using the matching die, Little Reindeer Die (Gerda Steiner) and then popped up on the card front.

What a super adorable little reindeer and he sure looks proud showing off baubles, stars and string of lights Loll x.
He is such a cutie Loll, the glossy accents on his ornaments really shines and stenciled snow looks fab too. :)
what a happy and cheery little card. I am sure the recipient will smile broadly when they receive it xx
How cute Loll and such fun and prettily coloured and with some wonderful winking and glossing to the baubles and lights too, and a great snowy embossed background with the die cut snow slopes and a lovely deep red sentiment too. x
And now I can't stop smiling :-)) A wonderful cutie, beautifully staged winter surroundings and such a nice coloring.

Your reindeer is sooo adorable, Loll! Your coloring and shiny ornaments bring the sweet image to life. The embossing paste snow and the white gouache snow are the perfect touch!

I adore that quirky little reindeer ... so very glad you joined our Creature Feature at Jingle Belles.
This little guy would light up anybody's world, Lolly! I love him, sitting there happy in the snowfall with a "you gotta love me" look on his face in spite of how he messed up the Christmas lights! I think you glossified them, too, for even more fun! Love, Dolly
