holiday sparkle



This was one of my favorite cards I created from the Papertrey Ink release.  It was just fun to create.  I added a strip of double sided adhesive above my patterned paper and sprinkled it with glitter to resemble a layer of snow below the reindeer's feet.  The reindeer was stamped and colored on white cardstock and then cut out to adhere it to my card.  I finished it off with some baker's twine wrapped around the bottom, rounding the corners, and adding some rhinestones to the reindeer's face.

I have been purging cards again and just finished updating my etsy shop with a bunch of cards.  I also marked a bunch of cards down that were already in the shop: Apple Blossom Paperie.  If you placed an order recently, thank you so much!  All orders have been mailed out yesterday and today.

Have a wonderful day!

Niki

That card is beautiful! I love the glittery snow at his feet. I ordered the baker's twine from your Etsy shop and I am looking forward to playing with it. I have seen it on lots of cards and wanted to try some but I didn't need a bazillion yards on a roll, whichnis what most places sell. Thanks for having it in your shop!

Nikki your work is always so elegant. I've tried making classic cards like this & it's a no go!! You'd think it would be quick & easy but it takes me longer to make a card like this than one with 10 layers!!
