Rustic reindeer

This month's CAS Christmas challenge is focusing on reindeer. I've gone a little bit rustic with mine by using a kraft base.

I got this pretty stamp in a sale a while ago, I think it's designed to use on DL shaped cards but I thought by cropping a bit off the bottom it would work on a standard (European) A6. I added a little bit of colour with pencils and then used metallic watercolour for the stars. I used Red Gold and Champagne Gold so there's a bit of variation going on. As with all metallic and glittery things it hasn't shown up that well on camera but there's a lovely sheen in real life.

A very old sentiment from Technique Tuesday finishes it off, I liked the contrast of very clean font with the squiggly lines of the reindeer.
