I do love kraft, red, and white together. It's a great colour combination for Christmas cards. I started by creating a small panel from kraft paper. I tore two pieces of white card stock for my snow hills, adhering them to the panel and added some clear Wink of Stella for a bit of shimmer along the tops of the hills. I had a beautiful piece of red patterned paper gifted to me by a friend, so I used a small strip of it for the bottom.
I cut a sweet reindeer die (Retro Deer - Simon Says Stamp) from kraft paper and then used brown distress ink to add some sponging around the edges so the reindeer would stand out from the background. I added a tiny drop of Autumn Red Crystal Drops for Rudolph's nose. :)
To finish, I stamped the sentiment (Christmas Moments - Penny Black) in red distress ink and clear heat embossed. The final step was to splatter snow using diluted white paint.

I'm also sending this card over to the Merry Little Christmas Challenge #32 - Anything Christmas Goes!

It's amazing how quickly these birthdays come round and three years already during which you and the DT have set us some wonderful challenges and I love this theme of kraft, red and white which look beautiful together, and I love the rich colour and pattern of the paper at the bottom which complements your snowy scene perfectly Loll, also the cute reindeer complete with red glossy nose and the red embossed sentiment too, and the wonderful paint splatters for the falling snow. A gorgeous card! x

Hard to believe it's the 3rd birthday for CAS Christmas too...where does the time go?!! So glad to be a part of this talented team! Hugs. :0)
Three years is quite an accomplishment. Congratulations. Love this card it is adorable. Forgot all about paper tearing, it's so effective...I'll have to try it again soon.
Such a sweet little reindeer! Love the patterned paper to bring in more red to match the sentiment. I can't believe it's already been 3 years for CAS Christmas. It's been an honour to be part of the DT since the beginning.
I like that the snow portion of the card has a nice looking texture because of the torn part. Cute card. [Bunny]
your little reindeer is so cute Loll, the sponging really gives him shape.
I can't believe I've been on the DT for 3 years, where did the time go. I'm sure I've been having way too much fun :)
