Reindeer games

Hazel's challenge this week over on Craftyhazelnut's Christmas challenge is to feature a creature on your card.

I chose this elegant reindeer and gave him a snowy landscape (torn cardstock) to leap across on this teeny weeny card (it's a 3 inch square). The stamp set has one snowflake stamp and the dot but I used a separate sentiment set and that also has a snowflake so you can mix them up to create a bit more variety.

The antlers are beautifully delicate but would be a nightmare to cut out so I stamped the reindeer first on the card base and then stamped again on a scrap of cardstock and cut him out, chopping off the antlers. The head and body are raised with a scrap of cardstock underneath for a tiny bit of dimension with the hooves stuck directly to the card base.
