It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hi, everyone!  Before I share today's card, I would like to welcome two lovely new followers - Charlene and Maria - so happy to have you here!  Today I was inspired by a photo over at House of Cards (see below).  It's the first time I've played there and I thought it would be fun!  They're having a blog hop too!  Today I made a CAS card using all stamps, no digis, and I wanted a masculine card so I kept it no-frills.

I stamped the Hampton Art reindeer in Ancient Page - Chocolate and fussy-cut.  I used my Lawn Fawn Forest Border to create the hillside and stamped the C.C. Designs sentiment, also in Chocolate.  The sparkly polka-dot paper was a left-over snippet in my stash.  Here's the gorgeous inspiration photo:

Both of the elf twins - Eli and Elfis - helped me with this card - they're wonderful company you know! They decided to pose in the photo so I can play along in DL.ART's Second Annual Elf Antics Linky Party!
