Hello! I thought that I was finished making cards with Sparkly & Bright, but when I saw the color challenge on Splitcoaststampers for Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, and Basic Black, I knew I needed that reindeer one more time in Soft Suede! The challenge is CC257, Very Suede Black, if you are playing along. There was an extra challenge to add sparkle to the card, too.
The Very Vanilla piece is actually 2 pieces. I wanted to use the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder, but I felt it was too much for the entire piece, so I used it on the top half, and the bottom half is a smooth piece, which works perfectly for stamping the sentiment. I used my 2-way glue pen on the centers of the poinsettias of the embossed piece and added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. It doesn't show up at all in the photo, but is gorgeous IRL! The reindeer is stamped in Soft Suede and punched with the 1 3/8" circle punch. To add even more bling, I removed the rhinestone from a small red brad by prying back the prongs. This was very easy to do. It was attached to Rudolph's nose with a mini glue dot. The glue dot is actually larger than the rhinestone, so I just cut away part of the glue dot with my paper snips. The circle is mounted on a Soft Suede Scallop Circle, and placed on top of the Wide striped ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals. What do you think? I'd love to hear from you, so please leave a comment if you want to! (Comment link at the bottom of the post).
