Check out the challenge blog for details.
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!
