Challenge me a Christmas card with Michelle Lupton





Hello and welcome to my blog!  I was very excited when Michelle Lupton invited me to be a part of her Challenge me a Christmas card series this year.   Michelle makes the most beautiful cards and is one of my very talented teamies over at the  CAS-ual Fridays challenge blog.   Michelle asked me to choose a theme for our challenge so I chose Reindeer!   

 I pulled out an old stamp set from Hero Arts called Christmas Reindeer.  This is such a fun set with a couple of different Reindeer's and trees in it.  I stamped the leaping reindeer, coloured it in with my alcohol markers and cut it out using my scan n cut.  I stamped my background with Memento London Fog ink (second generation).  I also added some clear sparkly snowflakes to the background even though you cant really see them in the photo!  I curved the sentiment on my block, stamped that with Versafine Black Onyx ink then heat embossed with some diamond sparkle embossing powder.  I then adhered my leaping reindeer with some foam squares.  

I cant wait to see Michelle's card, you can click HERE to take you directly to her Reindeer card!
        

I am also entering into the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #194 Anything Goes and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes!

    What a fun card you've created, Michelle! I love all the detail you've stamped and added to your background. You've set the scene beautifully. Curving that sentiment was such a clever move. It echoes the curve to the leaping reindeer so well. Love it! Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
