Reindeer Christmas card

We received some new lines in last week and I decided I would have a play and also get a move on with my Christmas cards. So here's what I did.

Using the ATC Sticky Back Canvas in white I wiped it over with an Stop Static Pillow then stamped the reindeer from the Darkroom Door Christmas Reindeer set with Watermark Resist Embossing Ink and poured White Embossing Powder over it. Shake off the excess (put back in your container) remove the paper backing from the Canvas ATC and stick it onto your Non-stick Craft Sheet. Heat with a heat gun until the powder melts.

Ink up a Ink Blending Tool with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink and starting off the canvas swirl the tool over your canvas until you get the depth of colour you want. Wipe over the embossed image with a baby wipe to remove the ink. Then using the Ink Blending Tool and a new foam piece ink it up with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and ink around the edges.

Remove the Canvas from the Craft Sheet and pull a few threads off each side to fray it a little. Mount it on a piece of burgundy cardstock. Put a little bit of Diamond Stickles on the stars and White Enamel Accents dots on the reindeers nose and antlers.

Cut two pieces of co-ordinating paper and to tie it in to your reindeer place it on your craft sheet and lightly  swirl over some Vintage Photo Distress Ink remembering to start off your paper as it will grab if you don't.
Adhere the paper to a piece of burgundy cardstock and then that onto a white card.

Cut out the words from the Darkroom Door Christmas word strip and stick on the card using magic mount.

The finished card.
