Reindeer Dancing

Hello.  Welcome.  This morning the sun is shining and I felt all jingle bells.  I remembered that over at Wnter Wonderland the challenge is Scandanavian Christmas and since I am in Norway I decided I must join in.   Also Craftyhazelnut's theme is Do you hear what I hear? which I think is very cute.  So I had to find a little bell for my reindeer.  It's real.  It rings.  Not sure what the postman will make of that......

I used STAMPlorations sketch for my design.  I wanted some red and white patterned paper so after a search found this one from Dovecraft Eastern Promise collection.  I thought it looked a bit like clouds and would suit my flying reindeer.  It needed a bit of bling so I added glitter glue.  I edged my white base card and the paper panels with DI Barn Door.  The reindeer is Sizzix Reindeer #2.  It comes with a matching embossing folder and I highlighted the embossed areas with Barn Door.  I added a piece of red ribbon and the tiny bell.  I die cut a reindeer from white foam as well to give more dimension.  The sentiment is an Anita's stamp embossed with red embossing powder.

    Hi Iona - beautiful Christmas card! By the way - Brusho paints are pigment crystals that come in a little container and you can sprinkle the crystals on watercolor paper and then mist it with water. It gives you quite amazing effects....

    This is going to be one of my favorite cards this year, Gail! The deer has so much personality, and using the ribbon and bell just seal the deal for me! Pure genius!

    This. Is. GORGEOUS! I'm pinning this for later inspiration! Thanks for all your comments. Over by my picture on my blog, I do have a little G+ follow sign - It's just really small. :)
    I'm very glad I got to "meet" you through the card exchange and I'm glad you liked my card!

    Your patterns go so well together on this fun red and white beauty, Iona! I love how you inked that "cloud" e/f and put a real jingle bell on your Scandinavian reindeer!!

    Thank you so much for coming to my place, leaving me a comment, and following me! It is a pleasure to meet you and return the flavor!! I hope to see you again soon! Hugs, Darnell
