Lattice Reindeer

One of my favorite new stamps is the Lattice Background (E1283).  I have been using it to make my own background paper as well as behind images that I want to highlight.  Did you see the autumn tree card I made that used the lattice background?  If you missed it, you can see it here.

For this card, I stamped the lattice background twice with Colorbox Chalk Chestnut Brown ink to make a strip of decorative paper.  I didn't worry about lining up the two lattice background stampings because I knew I was going to place an image over the seam where the two images met.  I then inked the lattice background with the same ink, stamped it onto scrap paper, and then stamped it again onto cream paper.  I "off-stamped" the background so that it would be a lighter shade of brown and wouldn't interfere with the reindeer I stamped on top of it.  I ran the reindeer piece of paper and some mocha cardstock through my Cuttlebug using my Nestabilities Label 2 set and then layered everything onto some Spiceberry paper and a mocha notecard.

Here is a close-up of the reindeer and background:

Of course, I had to add a cherry jewel to the reindeer's nose.  Is it possible to stamp a reindeer without a red nose?

That is so pretty. I can't believe that's a stamp, it looks like patterned paper!

Ok now we are talking assembly line holiday cards. This is WONDERFUL ... such impact! Of course, the bling "makes it"
