I stamped the reindeer in black and heat embossed in clear before using the matching die to cut him out. I then watercoloured with Distress Inks: Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs, Walnut Stain, Mustard Seed, Rustic Wilderness, Blueprint Sketch, and Candied Apple. To add some interest, I used my white acrylic pen to add some highlights to the Christmas lights and the reindeer before adding crystal glaze to the lights, ornaments, stars, and nose.
I added a snowhill to the background (leftover piece of embossed and sponged background from when I made THIS card). And stamped the sentiment (Merry Messages - Lawn Fawn) in black ink. Then popped the reindeer on top.

I'm sending this card to the Christmas Craft Creations August Challenge - CAS.

I broke out in a smile as soon as I saw him. That cute face and ornaments on his antlers is so funny. Great embossing folder behind him.

I agree that Gerda Steiner has the cutest faces on her critters. You really brought that reindeer to life with your wonderful coloring, Loll.
Ack, I'm smiling so big looking at this darling little guy! What a wonderful way to send Christmas joy! I love that bit of embossed background, softly sponged with white. Perfection, Loll!
That soft icy blue and white highlighted background is perfect with your cute and beautifully water coloured reindeer and the glossy finish on the baubles and lights and his red nose look great...a brilliant card Loll. x
Such a cute little reindeer, I love his decorated antlers! Gorgeous embossed detail in the background too.

What an adorable reindeer, Loll! I've always believed you have a magical touch that makes cute images even cuter with your wonderful coloring. And that leftover piece (background)! It's so good that it's hard to believe it's a leftover! ;-)
