Elegant Reindeer
I am so excited to show this card to you guys today! I love diagonals so when I saw the sketches for the Midnight Madness challenge I was like a kid in a candy store!
The colors (ivory, black and one accent color) came from Carla's color challenge at stampTV and they really add the elegant effect.
I used Cuttlebug's candy cane stripes embossing folder on the panels to add even more diagonal dimension. The stamp is from Layers of Love, Reindeer Waltz -- this set has the most beautiful reindeer images -- see them here. I heat embossed the reindeer in black on this glossy ivory cardstock and he is so very shiny! Added a little poinsettia embellie and it's done!
Enjoy your day,
Betty
