Today I have a reindeer card for you using the Flourishes Sleigh Ride Set. On a piece of Cherry Cobbler I stamped the Silent Night Sheet Music in VersaMark and embossed it with gold embossing powder and a heat gun. The edges were sponged in Distressed Vintage Photo.
I stamped the reindeer on a Spellbinders Labels Eight #3 die in VersaMark and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I colored the image with Prismacolor markers in Eggshell and Mocha Light. Sponging was done around the edges in Distressed Antique Linen. I just had to add a red rhinestone to Rudolph's nose!
Before adhering the reindeer to my Cherry Cobbler paper I added a piece of 1/4" grosgrain ribbon in Always Artichoke with some vintage jingle bells.
Since I had room in the corner I stamped a few holly leaves from the Joy set in Always Artichoke and colored them with a Mellow Moss marker. The berries were stamped in Cherry Cobbler with some Crystal Effects for dimension.
Everything was mounted to a textured Always Artichoke card. Now, I don't know if I can part with this card!
A closer look at the reindeer.

Hi Donna
I always learn so much when you show your cards and like the idea of tying some bells on.
