Little Reindeer

Hi everyone.  I'm working on my Christmas card stash today with a fun card using an adorable image from Gerda Steiner - Little Reindeer.  LOVE this sweet face!! ... and his decorated antlers. :)

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.
