I used the fun reindeer from Funky Christmas (Gina K Designs) as the focal image of this card. I added a heart in his hands and added the sentiment that I typed on the computer.
My favorite part of this (besides the cutie reindeer!) is the button hemp. I threaded the buttons so that the hemp would tie through the center button and that is how it is attached to the card.(Did that make any sense at all???? If you picture just one button and wrapping the hemp around the card and then threading each side through one button hole and then tying the hemp in the center........it might make better sense. I just made sure to thread the a red button on either side before doing the center button!)
I kept the layout very simple and clean to keep the focus on the reindeer. The reindeer is stamped twice, once on the card and again to color and pop up on top of the original. Then, I added some red stickles to the reindeer's nose and then used a light green Copic marker to highlight the mistletoe word in the sentiment.
Gotta love fun & cute cards!
Materials used: Stamps-Funky Christmas (Gina K Designs); Memento black ink; Copic markers; White cardstock (Gina K Designs); hemp; buttons (SU!); red stickles (Ranger); designer paper- Mr Campy-Flannel (Cosmo Cricket), Early Bird-Apron Strings (Cosmo Cricket).
