Hello Ai Fans!
Fifteen days until Christmas! Are you ready? I love making Christmas cards and these sweet reindeer from the Sleigh Bells set are so adorable!
I used my MISTI and stamped the reindeer pair twice with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then blended some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide onto the background with a Ranger Distress Blending Brush. I used alcohol markers (listed below) to color the reindeer.
Then I got really brave! I penciled in a line for the ground and once I was satisfied I used my Micron .005 black pen to very lightly draw over the pencil line. I used two Copic markers (N2 and BG000) to color in some shadows and make it appear more like snow. I then added some Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle. For me, that drawing was pretty scary after having colored the reindeer! I think it turned out pretty good!
Once the coloring was done, I used Ai's Rectangle Double Stitched Dies to cut the top panel. I layered that onto some red paper from my stash and popped it up onto some pretty silver sparkly card stock. I also stamped one of the sentiments from the set and used a tag die to cut it out. I tied some bakers twine onto the tag and added snowflakes from Ai's Snowflake Dies that I cut out with glitter paper.
For the inside, I used another sentiment from the set and also the snowflake stamp. The snowflakes are stamped in some pretty silver ink.
