Rudolph and Friends

When I made my Rudolph Says Hello card last year, I stamped and die cut several more Rudolphs and then never used them.  I came across them in my oddments box and thought they would be perfect for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown 'Sketch challenge'.  As I had several Rudolphs in the oddments box I made a matching tag for the the Allsorts 'Matching Pairs' challenge.


To make this card and tag I used:
     C6 white matt card blank
     Clearly Besotted 'Let's Prance' stamps and coordinating dies
     Clearly Besotted 'Cheerful Christmas' stamps
     Creative Expressions 'Pierced Tags' die
     Versafine Onyx Black ink
     Promarkers
     Snippets of white matt card, red textured card and red twine

I put white card into my MISTI and stamped the sentiment across the top.  The panel was trimmed, layered onto red textured card and attached to the card blank.  The reindeer had been stamped in black ink and cut with the coordinating dies before being popped into my oddments box.  I chose three different reindeer and coloured them with Promarkers.  To make them stand out on the card I layered the coloured reindeer onto a plain die cut and then attached them across the card under the sentiment.  I used a snippet of white card to cut the pierced tag and attached another Rudolph to the tag and some red twine.

I am entering the following challenges:
     52 Christmas Card Throwdown - Sketch
     AAA Cards - Flies in the Air (Rudolph flies with Santa!)
     Allsorts - Matching Pairs
     Christmas Crafts All Year Round - The Christmas Song (I have used 'To see if a reindeer really knows how to fly)
     Crafty Calendar Challenge - Add a Die Cut
     Cut It Up - Anything Goes
