I like this stamp for few reasons. First, I love reindeer stamps. They are just too cute! Second, the saying is attached to the side, so it is like getting two stamps in one. Finally, it gives me a chance to use a lot of rhinestones. I suppose you could color in the lights of the jump rope, but why? Jewels are so much better. Okay, I will stop now. My passion for bling is rearing its ugly head.
To make this card, I ran oval and scalloped oval Nestability dies though my cuttlebug to add some shape to my card. I then stamped my reindeer (Jumping for Joy D1292) and saying onto the oval using brown Versafine ink. I colored in the reindeer with a brown watercolor pencil and softened the look with a Dove blender pen. Finally, I added colored jewels to the jump rope and clear jewels around the scalloped oval. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I added some Jupiter and Truffle metallic papers from the Soiree line for extra pizazz. After all, I needed something to show off my rhinestones!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
love this stamp!
