I fell in love with this gorgeous dashing reindeer stamp that I won from Mrs. A in her December Butterfly Challenge - thank you! I made a cool background with Distress Inks using the ink smooshing technique on a die-cut scalloped rectangle, and then heat-embossed the reindeer and sentiment in white. I layered it on coordinating cardstock and then onto a white card base. I finished off the card with 5 white snowflake sequins as embellishments.
Clear stamps: Reindeer (won from Mrs. A, thank you!), sentiment (Winnie and Walter Winter Wishes)
Inks: Background (Distress Inks Blueprint Sketch, Shaded Lilac, Seedless Preserves), stamping (Versamark)
Die: Waltzingmouse Stamps Scalloped Stitched Rectangle
Other: Ranger white embossing powder, white snowflake sequins
