A Snowman and a Reindeer in Circles

Getting a couple of Christmas cards done on a dreary cloudy day.  52 Christmas Card Throwdown wants Snow People, The 12 Months of Christmas wants Circles, and Double D wants shapes of any kind.  So I combined the three for this card:

Stamped the snowman and coloured with coloured pencils and die cut with the matching die.  I die cut some white cs circles, stamped one with the sentiment, and dry embossed the other with snowflakes.  Then die cut slightly larger circles with blue shimmer cs (and, since I was just using these as bordering circles, out of the larger one I die cut some small snowflakes).  Layered the circles together.  Finished by embellishing with the small snowflakes.

Sparkles Christmas Challenge wants Christmas Critters.  I went with a reindeer.

I die cut the reindeer out of textured brown Coredinations cs and lightly sanded off some of the colour.  The background is a snowflake embossed panel with a circle cut out of it, and snowy dp set behind it.  I added the reindeer as if he's stepping into the circle.
