Shopping our Stash's challenge is called "Don't Really Need Another One" - use something that is our weakness and we buy too many of. I really do have too many reindeer dies!
I created a background by sprinkling blue and green Magicals powders on photo paper, spritzing with water, and letting the colours run and dry naturally. When dry, I trimmed the panel, added a torn white cs snowy ground and two die cut reindeer. The panel is matted with black cs and the sentiment is made with a wax seal kit. It might be hard to read in the photo but it says Merry Christmas. Here's a close-up of the seal:The Flower Challenge wants a stamped flower.
A simple stamped and watercoloured image, with a vertical sentiment. It's larger than my usual A2 as it's a big image.
Supplies for card 1:
Paper - white and black cs, photo paper
Size - A2
Accessories - blue and green Magicals, reindeer dies, sealing wax set
Supplies for card 2:
Stamps - Stamps Happen Sweet Peas, Hero Arts sentiment
Ink - Versafine Clair Nocturne
Paper - watercolour paper, off white cs
Size - 6.25x4.75"
Accessories - watercolour paints
Can you have too many reindeer? These are perfection with your lovely background and super-cool seal ... so glad you joined us at Shopping Our Stash.
ReplyDeleteToo many reindeer? Nah! Can't be! There's just enough on this card with the pretty Magical background! The bouquet of sweet peas is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe Magicals make a beautiful background Susan, and the two reindeer in the snow look wonderful over the top and the sentiment looks great using a wax seal, and also the watercoloured sweet peas are gorgeous...I love the pink and purple tones. x
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with having your very own herd of reindeer! Both cards are great. That vase of flowers is gorgeous and I haven't seen anything like it before.

ReplyDeleteGreat reindeer card, the wax seal just tops it off. I must make a few to add to my Christmas cards :) Sweet peas are one of my favourite flowers, such delicate colours
