Hello! I know I've been MIA for a bit. We are in the middle of doing renovations (as I've mentioned before) and while we are a ways off from being done, I finally cleaned up the mess the electricians made when they needed access to my art area. So, I finally got to make some cards! So, today over at One Layer Christmas Card Challenge we have a fun challenge for you. As usual it's anything goes, but the twist this time is Reindeer. And if you use the twist you could win a prize!
I have a few reindeer stamps and I decided to go with an old one. I still love this stamp. Take a look...
Well, I hope I've inspired you to not only get a head start on your Christmas cards but to join us over at OLCCC. Remember there's a prize up for grabs if you use the twist. You really should at least check out the other DT member's projects as they are all fabulous.
I hope you all have a fantastic day and thanks so much for visiting.
I'm going to link up to the following challenges:

52 Christmas Card Throwdown - pick a previous challenge - June 2014, Rudolph/Reindeer
The first thing I did was stamp my reindeer (Inkadinkado) and emboss it in white. Then I masked off my hill and moon. I sponged on Elderberry, Nautical Blue and some Teal Zeal Memento inks for the sky. I splattered some water on it and then some white acrylic paint. Then I stamped my bare branch tree (don't know who made it, it's pretty old) and my pine tree (another oldie, All Night Media) in Versafine black ink. I removed the masks and stamped the sentiment (STAMPlorations) in black. I think this little snowy scene turned out rather well. :-)
