Framed Reindeer - Red Hot Stampers #55

I'm sore today from doing all that gardening yesterday - but glad that I got my geraniums inside.  There's still a lot of work to do outside, but the urgency to get it done is gone.  Today the forecast is for rain so I may not get too much done outside today.  That makes is a good day to replenish my supplies for the next craft sale in a week and a half, - and to make some cards.
This card is based on the sketch challenge with Red Hot Stampers here





Technique: 
The card base is Gumball Green layered with Very Vanilla.  The next designer paper layer is from Be of Good Cheer.
To make the panel behind the image, I took a 1 3/8" square punch and punched 4 different design pieces of Candlelight Christmas designer paper and attached them to Whisper White base.  Then I wrapped a Gumball Green stitched satin ribbon around the bottom 1/2 of this panel and added a bow.

Image:
I first embossed the oval designer frames folder on a piece of Whisper White card stock - then stamped the oval image from Joyous Celebration in Early Espresso.  Lastly the deer was stamped in the middle of that, and a dot of Cherry cobbler dazzling details was placed on its nost.
This white oval was matted with an Early Espresso oval die cut using the Ovals #2 die.  I applied tombo glue around the white frame and added Champagne glass glitter.
The image was attached to the card using dimensionals.

Cute card, Maria. I love the green with just hints of other colors around the card. Oh, love your reindeer's red nose too! :) Thanks for playing with the Red Hot Stamper's this week!
