Jolly Reindeer


A fun little Christmas card with a couple of adorable little reindeer and stenciled holly background. I love using kraft colored paper and Prismas or Copics on it. The color of the paper was perfect for this reindeer and I didn’t have add much color to them.

A big congrats to sawyerbean, the newest Featured Stamper (FS916)! She has a fabulous gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout because I loved the narrow little framing & the animal outside the frame, but I used different images, colors, dies & stenciled my background.

I loved the look of her paper center, but i don’t have anything like that, so I decided to use a 3 part holly stencil. Then the idea came to me to try it on kraft. It looked good so that’s the direction I went. I used a couple of reds, a couple of greens & the darkest grey for the holly. The reindeer were also done on kraft.  I used a combination of a few Copics & a few Prismacolor pencils to color them in, then die cut them w/ their coordinating dies. I used a bunch of rectangle dies to make the series of frames & center for my greeting. The frame, the center & the reindeer were all popped up to give it some dimension.

These are the Copics & Prismas I used:
