Rudolph Cute Reindeer

 


I was absolutely delighted to be asked to be a Guest Designer at Krafty Chicks this month. What an honour to join in the fun at the hen house. 


Week 2 of the monthly challenge schedule is Christmas. As this is the most favourite card I like to make this is no challenge for me really ☺

This card has been made using a digital stamp Rudolph Cute Reindeer from Oddball Art Co. This has been coloured using Promarkes and a white gel pen on the antlers. I fussy cut the image (yes even the antlers!) and placed to one side.

I used a sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesdays for the layout. 



The base of the card is kraft cardstock. I selected a brown paper with stars on it for the background. You can't see on the photo but some of them are a bronze metallic finish which is really effective in the light.

To follow the sketch I used a birch tree embossing folder from Crafter's Companion. It is a 5" square so I selected the part of the design that had the most interesting trees. The cardstock is a Tim Holtz Co-ordinations one which has a Kraft layer inside when you sand it back so it looks quite rustic.

 I thought the little reindeer would like to stand on some grass so I cut some cardstock into random grass shapes and curled it to add some texture. I am rather chuffed with how that turned out. This then became the 'ground' and I placed the feet so one was behind 'amongst' the grass. 

I felt the reindeer need to be looking at a creature in the tree so the little robin is a cardstock sticker. Finally the sentiment is a recycled one that has been added to a scrap of brown card.

I do hope you will join me and the team in the Hen House at Krafty Chicks.

    You've done a wonderful job interpreting the sketch Mandy, I like your take on it. The little scene you created is so sweet... the little critters look as though they're greeting each other in the forest. Cute!
    Cheers,
