Elegant Reindeer

I made this card for the CAS Christmas 'Deer' challenge.  I'm also entering the Christmas Kickstart Challenge 'Mooves on Hooves', the Cardz 4 Guyz 'To Die For' challenge and Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies Challenge.


5" x 5" white matt card blank
Spellbinders Nestabilities 'Standard Circles Large' and Creative Dies 'Elegant Reindeer' dies
Kars tan embossing mat
Making Cards magazine 'Contemporary Christmas' paper
Brown and white matt card, silver holographic card

 I trimmed a piece of white card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank before die-cutting and embossing a circle from the centre.  I attached a piece of red paper behind the aperture and attached it to the centre of the card.  I die cut three reindeer bodies and two antlers from dark brown card and one swirl from silver holographic card.  I layered two bodies and two antlers and attached these to the front of the card.  I inlaid the silver swirl into the reindeer body and then attached the third brown body layer to give some depth to the reindeer.

    Hi Kath, The use of three colours is fab. The Reindeer stands out on the red and white.

    Hope you have a relaxing evening. Sue

    Fantastic design Kath! Love your circle aperture with the awesome christmas script words on red. And your reindeer is beautiful! Great addition with that swirl of holographic paper. Really adds such a special touch. And so clever to inlay on the second layer and then add another on top so it's recessed. Great design elements! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
