Sending Christmas Cheer

**This is my second post for today, scroll down or click here to see my card for StampNation's 3rd Birthday party!**


Hi again friends!  It is a rainy, dreary day here in Northern NH so I have been spending time in my craft room.  I used the colors from the new Card Concept challenge to create my "clean and layered" (I think that is where this fits) card.  I also used the sketch from My Favorite Things.



I did take some liberties with the sketch but the basic design is there.  That is what I love about sketches, they are a starting off point for your design.  The reindeer from Starry Christmas is stamped in versamark and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Cardstock:  Kraft, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette

  4. What a terrific idea to use this for a non-traditional Christmas card color combo. The border stamp at the top looks fabulous and is a great tie in to the reindeer and sentiment. A beautiful card!
