Reindeer Card (Fairy Tale Challenge #127)

Hi everyone :o)

Yesterday a new challenge started over at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog. I'm late posting this one, because we had a storm here two days ago and I don't have Internet access at home. Well that's good, I stamp and color much more. :o)

So, onto our challenge. The theme for this fortnight is #127, Ticket. 
As always, you can create whatever you want. You can show a ticket on your creation or create a packaging for a ticket you want to give somebody as a gift. Imagination is yours! We can't wait to see what you'll create. :o)

Of course we have a prize for one lucky winner. It's this lovely stamp. :o)

For this challenge I made this Reindeer Card. I'm so satisfied how this one turned out. :o)

Details about my card...

I used Drawn With Character 'Gingerbread Reindeer' free digital stamp. I printed the image on a white watercoloring paper and colored it in watercoloring technique using Distress Inks, water and fine brush and shaded it with grey Stabilo Marker.

After drying, I covered white piece on reindeer's nose and birds beaks with gloss resin to create glossy accents. I also covered snow clusters on reindeer's antlers with acrylic paste. It looks like real snow. :o)

I left paste drying over night.

I printed tickets on a Kraft paper. These tickets are 'Warm Winter Wishes' Christmas Digi Ticket Stamp by Kimberly M. Landmesse, The Beary Scrap, and are free.

Then I glued design paper panel and image panel on a card base. I used Crafter's Companion Neenah Desert Storm Kraft Coloring Card for card base, as well as for tickets.

Hi everyone :-D  

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. :-D

Today I want to share with you this Hello Card I made this morning. 

My card is a CASE of beautiful card made by Imke Ludvig of Imke's Creations. I used the same sketch, used the same image and color scheme as she did on her card.
