I have a very clean and simple card to share with you tonight.
I wanted to take part in the latest challenge at CASology where the code word this week is 'Jump'. I had a rummage through my stash and couldn't really find anything suitable so I went on the hunt for a free digi and I found the following image at a great blog, Free Vintage Digital Stamps.
I printed the leaping deer onto white cardstock and die cut using a rectangular die. I then dug out some red mirri card (shocker...this hasn't seen the light of day for ages, not even last Christmas!) and die cut using the same die. I then layered them up, slightly offset, before adhering to a textured card base. To finish I coloured a tiny clear gemstone with a red FlexMarker to create Rudolph's nose. And that's it! I decided not to add a sentiment as I don't think its needed here, the image speaks for itself. I'm not usually one for making Christmas cards this early in the year but I wanted to create this one as I really love the image.
Materials used:
- Digi: Free Vintage Digital Stamps - Leaping Deer Silhouette
- Die: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Classic Rectangles
- Gem and cardstock from stash
- FlexMarker - Berry Red
I have also decided to enter this card into the following challenges:
Charisma Cardz - Challenge #4 - Inspired by a Move (Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer - The Movie)
Addicted to Stamps and More - Challenge #83 - Holidays
Crafty Creations - Challenge #257 - Keep It Simple
Festive Friday - Challenge #25 - Photo inspiration
Thanks for stopping by. That's all from me for today, I'm going to spend the rest of the evening in my comfies in front of the TV after a very hard week at work.
See you soon
