The challenge at Art Impressions this week is Happy Happy Holidays. This is always my favorite time of year. I LOVE to create Christmas cards and I usually make about 75 to send out. So, I started this card back in May but, of course, I am still working on getting them done. Why is that? Seems the time just gets away from me (or maybe a little procrastination - cuz there wasn't a hurry back then)! Even though it has taken me a long time to finish these, it was worth it because this is probably my favorite one of all!
I used the Reindeer Flutter set from Art Impressions. This is an interactive card - pull the tab down and the penguin's feet flutter up and down. Sooooo darn cute!! I stamped the image on copic friendly cardstock and colored with my copic markers. I used stickles on the jingle bells around the reindeer's neck and glossy accents on the reindeer's nose to give them a little shine. I inked the background with tumbled glass distress oxide ink and cut it out with the Art Impressions stitched rectangle die. I also cut the Art Impressions little snowflake dies out of white glitter cardstock for accents. I die cut the hilltop and the snowy hill from white glitter cardstock from dies I had in my stash and inked the hilltops using mowed lawn and pine needles oxide ink for the trees and tumbled glass for the snow banks. Lastly, I used white glitter cardstock on a black cardstock base to frame the scene. The sentiment is included in the Reindeer Flutter set.
Hope you enjoy my card!
