Christmas Kickstart Challenge #104 - Just Add Antlers

Hello friends.  Playing along with the current Christmas Kickstart Challenge where they are looking for Antlers to be added to our Christmas cards.


As soon as I saw this challenge, I knew right away which stamp I was going to use...MFT's Reindeer Games!  This little Pure Innocence girl hasn't seen ink in quite some time, and this challenge was a perfect time to bring her out again.  Take a look at this cutie...


Don't you just love her headband with the Antlers and the strand of colored lights?!  I stamped her and then colored her with my Copics before using the coordinating die to cut her out.  Next I used Glossy Accents to the light bulbs and her nose before setting her aside to dry.  I added a bit of light turquoise shading to the left and bottom of my card base, and then added the 2 scalloped frames from PFS's Stitched Scalloped Rectangles.


To finish I added the sentiment (also from the Reindeer Games stamp set), a few Disco Ball sequins (Gina K) and a bit of red & white baker's twine tied around the outer scalloped frame.  Pretty simple, but so cute and sweet (IMHO!)!!

Cute inspiration cards from Jo and her Guest Elf Vicki Ruta to get you started and lots more already in the gallery!  You can find them all right HERE.  This challenge is open till the end of the month.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

This little cutie is just perfect for this challenge. I adore her reindeer outfit and how you've framed her in those sweet scallops. This is just as cute as can be!

She really is adorable, Marcia! Why, oh, why didn't I buy her myself? So cute. I love how you've framed her with the scalloped edged dies too. Looks great! Thanks for joining Vicki and me at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x

OMGosh, she's so ultra-adorable in her little reindeer outfit and headband! I really love the scallop framing and the sponging in one corner. Also, the gloss on the lights and her nose looks amazing. I'm here for all of it!

She is just adorable with her antlers and that red nose. A lovely card Marcia. I have a number of those Pure Innocence images but don't think I have this one. Glad she brought her out to play with.
