Christmas Kickstart wants a reindeer, Christmas Cards All Year Round wants something that starts with R or S, and the Penny Black Saturday Challenge wants us to use a Penny Black die.
A very CAS card - a kraft card base, die cut reindeer (cut twice - once out of white shimmer cs and once out of scrap, glued together for more dimension), die cut sentiment out of white shimmer cs, and die cut tiny bits of greenery out of green shimmer cs to make a wreath around his neck, with tiny red gemstones for berries. I also used a red gemstone for the dot over the "i" in the sentiment as I lost the little die cut dot. Inkspirational wants "furry friends" and Sweet Stampin' wants a CAS card. I used one of the adorable Anita Jeram images. Simply stamped and watercoloured, trimmed with a lacy scallop rectangle die. I mounted it on a green card base that perfectly matches one of the presents in the image and lets the green show through the lacy scallops.

I have always loved the elegance of this PB reindeer, Susan. He is so magestic and beautiful. Even more beautiful, cut from shimmer paper with the wreath as a lovely adornment. Thanks for joining us at Christmas Kickstart Challenge #114! Wonderful snow scene for your second card. These images are so sweet and I love your watercolouring. xx
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely designs for Christmas, Susan! what a great reindeer in full flight with his holly collar - and how sweet is the bird trying to sneak opening a gift while the bunny protects the other present! Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational: Furry friends! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a great looking reindeer Susan and love the added greenery wreath embellished with the red gem stones and one for the dot on the 'i' which looks lovely too. Your second featuring an Anita Jerum image is so cute and beautifully coloured, and matted onto the open scallop stitched rectangle looks so pretty against the background green card...two brilliant Christmas makes. x
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, two lovely Christmas CaS cards - the die-cuts are very effective on the first and the stamp is super cute on the second. Many thanks for joining in with our challenge over at Sweet Stampin' - Sarah, DT
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and elegant die cut. The reindeer looks so good against the kraft and the pop of green really is a perfect 'pop' of colour. Thanks for playing at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge with Loll and me. Jo x
