Reindeer Recycled Christmas Card WT337

Today's Splitcoaststampers Ways to Use It Challenge - WT337 - was a lot of fun! I always save some of my Christmas cards received from friends and family with the intention of using them to make next year's Christmas cards, but just don't ever really do it. Well, today's challenge was to recycle, so I dug those beauties out, and here is what I came up with, using a card we received from my Uncle and Aunt in Maine. The recycle part is the beautiful little reindeer image. The rest is mine. Fun and easy! tfl

Autumn Smiles SC347





This card is for today's Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge - SC347. I embossed my core'dinations paper with my new brick ef and sanded it to expose the red core. Then I stamped my autumn leaves onto sky blue cs with versamark and brushed 3 different colors of Perfect Pearls on. It is shiny, even though it doesn't show up in the photo. All the layers are distressed around the edges with metallic gold ink also. Hope you like it. tfl

The beautiful dress digital stamp is by Priscilla and can be found here: http://priscillastyles-store.blogspot.com/. I printed the purple version and added diamond stickles for a little sparkle.
