Continued Season's Greetings


Here is a very simple card you could mass produce that I made with the StampTV kit Season's Greetings.  I love this reindeer silhouette! Repeat the image by stamping off twice.  This technique is great not only for adding multiple shades but also movement, now they are prancing!  Ink is the new Gina K. Charcoal Brown.  The touch of gray in this brown ink makes it such a versatile, unique neutral.  I used Pure Luxury In the Navy cardstock and the coordinating ink for the sentiment.  Add a little red colored pearl for his nose! The repeating pearls emphasize the sentiment and tie in the red embellishment. Some wispy white organdy from the kit adds softness to the card.  I folded up the white mat's corner just a touch to add a little more interest.

How's everyone doing on their holiday cardmaking?  Sifting through my basket yesterday I was pretty pleased with how many I have already just for making samples for our last few releases!  Yeah!

Do you know we have a new release coming up in just a few short weeks?  I have a new set I am so excited about, that I hinted about on Facebook, oh, maybe a month or two ago now, lol!  I couldn't be more pleased with the illustrations and hope you'll love this as much as I do. :)

Hugs!!
