Paper Pieced Reindeer!

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you are all enjoying what is left of your weekend. I also wanted to add here before starting this blog post, thank you to everyone who has taken the time to watch my video and leave such wonderful comments, I hope to be back in the future with another one.

Well it is yet another Sunday which means another DT card for Jay Gee's Nook. This time I decided to use this sweet set from Lawn Fawn, Critters in the Snow, I just adored it when I first saw it and couldn't wait to get my hands on it.

I decided to use the sweet little reindeer out of this set and stamping in onto some Basic Grey patterned paper, then trimming it out, adding Glossy Accents to the antlers and colouring the nose in with a red Copic, then adding more Glossy Accents, I set him aside to dry. Next, I took some Kraft card stock to form a card, and using the snowflakes from the Lawn Fawn, Frosties stamp set, that were inked with Colorbox Ink, Frost White, I covered the entire front of the card adding more ink to the edges to soften. Taking more Basic Grey patterned paper I trimmed a piece, applied distress ink, vintage photo to soften and adhered this to the base of the card, adding string across the top of the patterned paper. I trimmed a small piece of white card stock, stamping a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn, Bows and Holly stamp set, blending some distress ink, vintage photo over the tag to soften and lastly adding a brad to the tag also, then attaching it to the patterned paper. Once the reindeer had dried, I adhered this to the card using foam dimensionals.

Enjoy viewing the card. Don't forget to pop on over to see what the other DT gals have been up to.

I hope you all get a little time to relax and maybe get a little inky today.

Hugs
