So after all my Halloween/Birthday cards of late, I've moved onto Christmas cards. I have to admit I had a loss of mojo for this card, I think I'm still in my All Hallows mood.
I used Tim Holtz poinsettia and reindeer die as the main focal points and I did, very reluctantly I might add, cut into my First Edition Wild at Heart paper pad for the poinsettia. I used a sheet of old music paper for the reindeer but matted onto 2 lots of kraft cardstock because its really flimsy paper. Added some Stickles and some teeny tiny die cut stars to finish.
