12/07/2016 Update: Top Three at November Critters & Creatures Challenge
11/28/2016 Update: Splitcoast Stampers Weekly Favorite
This week I spotted several challenges that I thought were perfect for my humorous reindeer trio. I rarely participate in challenges with randomly selected winners but they usually offer prizes. The reindeer were downloaded as one digital image, already framed and with the sentiment in place. I wanted to have a background so I used a craft knife to cut around the deer and stars. This would have been a fun shaker card but I decided not to do it. The image was colored with clear Wink of Stella on the stars and Glossy Accents on the noses. The cut out frame was adhered to a panel of plaid paper and a card base. The inside of the card is decorated with plaid paper.
The card is being submitted to the following:
1.
Crafty Creations Animal Theme Challenge #328 (winner selected randomly)
2A.
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge #308 (also random)
2B.

Oh, that's awesome! Your little reindeer are too cute, love the designer paper background too. Perfect!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this, I HAD to come and comment. Those reindeer are the cutest, most adorable creatures I have ever seen! They look like they have been stunned by headlights - but they are heartwarming at the same time. I love the background - it is so perfect for the Christmas season. Well done, Melanie. This card is truly a classic!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love these reindeer. Bugaboo here I come, gotta get it. When I first read your blog and saw that you used a craft knife...questioned where was that Brother. Then I read it back again and realized the background was a part of the image and you only cut parts...great job...love what you did with this image.
ReplyDeleteAdorable!!! Those reindeer is so fun, and I can't believe you cut out all those little, intricate parts!! It must have taken forever, but the end result is fabulous! Love that plaid background. Thanks for playing with CHNCC2.
