Back when I posted this card (the second one; scroll down), I actually had comments referring to the "ugly" sweater my little reindeer was wearing! Poor reindeer, he was so offended! I hope today's little guy isn't so harshly treated. :P
This is for Hero Arts' November contest, and I'm happy to say I worked all three of the contest themes into the card. Bling -- I used snowflake embossing tinsel on the reindeer's HANDSOME sweater, twinkling H2Os (with some salt) to create the snowy sky background, and glittery brads to embellish the sentiment banner. Colour -- the red, olive and blue represent three of the colour challenge colours. Dry embossing -- the snowflake panel. I'm also throwing this into the first Addicted to CAS challenge, where the code word is 'snow'. And, of course, Simon Says Stamp's 'Anything Goes' challenge. I do like these happy sweatered reindeer! :D
Supplies: white & Stampin' Up real red & old olive cardstock, watercolour paper, Hero Arts Reindeer Joy & Get Merry! stamps, Versamark, Versafine onyx black & Stampin' Up real red inks, clear & Ranger rich red embossing powders, Ranger snowflake embossing tinsel, Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder, Twinkling H2Os, Prismacolor pencils, Queen & Co. brads, pop-dot tape
Aren't most Christmas sweaters supposed to be, well, tacky? Obviously just most, because I would totally wear this green snowflaky sweater! HOW COOL IS THAT SALTED SKY? I love that! Does it sparkle too?? Love the layout & the way you've made the sky inside the negative (it's early, forgive my lack of coherence...hopefully you know what I mean :P)
Well I love the reindeer's jumper (sweater). I think he looks very handsome! Your card is terrific! I love all your snow and the layout is awesome! Thanks so much for playing along in our first challenge at ATCAS! xx
I said it was a silly sweater, not an ugly one! And yes, he looks very handsome in his green one. :) Love that snowy sky you created with the H2Os and salt. Really cool!
Hi Lindsey, I like your reindeer in his jumper, very cute and its great how you created the snowy background. Thank you for joining us at the first ATCAS challenge. Sue x
Ugly is a bit harsh isn't it? Reindeers in sweaters maybe a little odd perhaps but definitely cute and the fact that they are patterned Christmas sweaters is very cute! Heather
I don't think his sweater is ugly at all! I have seen plenty of ugly Christmas sweaters and this is not one of them. lol I love the salted sky. That is so cool! Thanks for playing at ATCAS this week!
