Say Cheese

 

Beccy's Place runs a month of Holiday Cards challenge throughout November. Most days are a prompt with the letter of the alphabet but as there are only 26 then we get a random prompt too.

The prompt for Day 20 is R - My card is R for Reindeer & Red

This card is another commission for my friend. This is for his adult son and the very loose brief was reindeers. I rifled through my digital images and found this polaroid style image of reindeers posing for the camera which I thought was quite humorous. It gave me the perfect place to position a personalised sentiment too. This was printed out and coloured with Promarkers and a gold gel pen for highlights. The squiggles were already in the background so I added some more dots of red marker and a gold glitter marker to fill the space up more.

The patterned paper reminded me of a Christmas jumper but all the green is encapsulated glitter so it has some texture and sparkle.

The base card is made from a sheet of A4 gold metallic card and the image was matted in the same and popped up on foam pads.

Finally I added some sisal string and a cute tree charm and called it done.
