Believe in the magic of Christmas...

Good morning!

Now that my November SN Pen Pal card has been received, I can share it here on the ol' blog. I really wanted to create a very graphic style postage stamp design using the older Elegant Reindeer set and to do that I chose to limit the whole design to a simple red, white and black color palette. I used the postage stamps die from The Stamp Market because it gives you four larger sections to create your designs in. I stamped reindeer onto three of the 'stamps' and left the fourth one open for the large decorative sentiment from Mama Elephant, that I heat embossed in white after using the Copic airbrush system to create the red background. A mix of postage stamps from both Waffle Flower and The Greetery complete the whole holiday stamp design. I know this is pretty different than most of the cards I create but I am in love with how it turned out.  :)

Later gators!
