Hello there crafty friend!
It's time for a new sketch challenge over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a sweet Christmas card with a vintage vibe using papers and an adorable stamp from our wonderful Sponsor Unity Stamp Co.! One lucky winner will win a $25 gift card to Unity!! Woohoo!
I inked up the super cute and adorable reindeer from A Little Dash. I love this little guy! He's just too cute! I die cut him using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. And then I colored him up with the following Copic markers:
Reindeer: E000, E21, E23
Nose: R20, R14, R27
Antlers: E21, D23, E25
Ears: R00, R20, E21
Hooves: C2, C3, C5, C7
Scarf / Gift: R20, R14, R27, BG10, BG72
Ground: C2
I paired up the reindeer with the A Dash of Christmas {paper pack}. I love the vintage style papers in this paper pack!! I die cut my background layer using a die from the Deckle & Stitches {nesting dies}. The banner down the middle was die cut using a die from the Scallops & Banners {nesting dies}. And then for the banner across I just trimmed that with my paper trimmer and cut the fishtails using my scissors.
All of the layers are adhered to a Kraft A2 card base. I distressed the edges of the circle and the sentiment with the residual ink from my brown blending brush. I kept it light and pretty much covered the whole circle around the reindeer. The sentiment is adhered directly to the card. I popped up the reindeer circle using foam tape. I finished off the card with some Sakura White Gelly Roll pen dots on his cheeks.
