Christmas Sentiment with Reindeer

I have always loved the sentiment stamps by Kay Foley.  I have lots of them, including several Christmas ones, so when I saw the Merry Monday challenge to use our favourite Christmas verse, I had to go with a Kay Foley one - but it was hard to choose which one.


When I finally settled on which Kay Foley sentiment to use, I made this card:



I let the sentiment be the star of the card.  All I added to it was a stamped and die cut reindeer positioned above the sentiment as if he is the reindeer making the sound of hooves as mentioned in the sentiment.






Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black Leaping Deer, Kay Foley sentiment
Ink - Memento Rich Cocoa and Potters Clay
Paper - PTI cream, Bazzill rusty red
Size - A2
Accessories - Penny Black reindeer die, dimensional tape, brown gemstone
