I have another card to share today that I made for two challenges. I embossed the background with the Sizzix Rays embossing folder - I thought it looked like a snowstorm behind my tree branch and ornament! I die cut and stamped the pine bough and hung my pretty die cut and gold embossed reindeer ornament off of the bough with a piece of glitter eyelash yarn. Both the bough and reindeer are up on foam dots.
Here's a close up of the sweet reindeer -isn't the floral pattern of the stamping pretty?! I gold embossed it on gold card stock.
This is my second entry for the Merry Monday Challenge - (see yesterday's post) to use an ornament on your card
My design is this week's Waltzingmouse Fanatics sketch - although I didn't use a sentiment on the outside of my card.
Stamps: Festive Foliage and Folk Art Christmas Additions - Waltzingmouse
Paper: white - PTI, gold - Michaels
Ink: Versamark, Ranger Distress Evergreen Bough and Frayed Burlap
Accessories: gold embossing powder, heat gun, Rays embossing folder - Sizzix, foam dots, glitter eyelash yarn - Martha Stewart, reindeer die from Folk Art Christmas Dies Waltzingmouse, pine bough from Pinecones die set - Waltzingmouse.
