That Script Reindeer again

Sometimes I wonder whether you are getting tired of seeing this Gummiapan script reindeer stamp on my blog, especially as I so often pair it with the Tonic Studios Winter Wonderland papers, but they just seem to work so perfectly together that I come back to the combination over and over again.


This time I have layered the tree paper onto a dark green background and added a strip of the stags head paper cut as a border and layered onto deep red card. The sentiment, also from the pad, is cut with a Gummiapan stitched Ovals die. The reindeer is stamped in deep red and used to top white, green and white layers cut using the Creative Expressions St Lucia die set. The most pleasing position for the reindeer left a rather large white space that spoiled the balance so I added a red die cut twinkling star. (Actually I think it's supposed to be a snowflake but it has the wrong number of points).

I am sharing this with
C.R.A.F.T challenge - Christmas

DEFINITELY not getting tired of that reindeer, and honestly, i think you do such different things with him (or her, lol!) each time, that you make it look brand new. this is a particularly gorgeous card right here! and an awesome addition to our "all bundled up" gallery at JINGLE BELLES! ♥
