Reindeer Noel

 I had to get my stencils back out again as it has been some time since I last used them...  my favorite Layers of Color stencil (I think, lol!) is Vintage Medallion.  I used Memento Bamboo Leaves to stencil the medallion and then stamped over it with the script from The Love Chapter using Memento Lady Bug.  I sponged the bottom as well divided the card up using some wide red double-stitched ribbon.  I used Versafine Satin Red ink for the reindeer (from Reindeer Waltz) and the Noel sentiment (from Christmas Verses) and embossed them both with red embossing powder.

Here is a close up of the reindeer within the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Accents die:

 Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

First, some ornament inspiration!...

I used the Heirloom Ornament die from Spellbinders and stamped one of the damask images from
Touch of Elegance as well as the script from The Love Chapter.  I used Memento ink and added a pearl to the center of each damask with a Viva Decor Pearl Pen.  The ornament itself has 4 sides, which I scored using the Scor-Buddy.  I adhered together with Scor-Tape.

Dear Friend

I made this for the 2011 WCMD Challenge over on the Classroom blog.  There were numerous challenges this past Saturday and I loved the color challenge by Julie and was inspired by her design.  Thanks Julie!!  I clear embossed the flowers and sponged over it with Memento ink and added liquid pearls to the center of each flower.

For my card I used Layers of Color stamps and stencils (Flowering Gems, Sent with Love, The Love Chapter clear stamps and Belle Brocade art stencil).

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
