Icy Reindeer…
I hope you are not getting tired of this reindeer stamp because I just couldn’t resist using him again for today’s Color Challenge…Purely Pomegranate, Soft Sky and Basic Grey. I thought it would so well for a unique holiday look and doesn’t his nose look darling? 
More about that later. This reindeer comes from The Flourished Christmas set from Flourishes and is so popular that it is out of stock. Don’t worry though…new stock will be arriving this week in plenty of time for your Christmas designs. If you’d like to play along with this great color challenge…check out the link here.

For this design, I fell back on a basic design layout I like to use…actually I think it was this past week’s sketch challenge. My reindeer stamp was inked with Versamark and then embossed with silver embossing powder. To add a little depth and substance to him, I colored him in lightly with my lightest gray Copic Marker. To add a little glitz and make this card more festive, I used my glue pen to add dots of glue and then sprinkled them with dazzling diamonds glitter. The sentiment is stamped in Purely Pomegrantate and I added other small accents of this color with dotted ribbon from Michael’s and a mat around my image layer. The little blue clip that holds on the ribbon is from the Making Memories Cheeky Collection.
Quick Tip: Now to make my reindeer nose…I guess he must be a very elegant grown-up Rudolf
I searched and searched for a red rhinestone in my stash. I simply must have one…but well, I just couldn’t find one! And so, what to do?! I was terribly excited to think of my new Copics and airbrush system…would it work? Yay! A quick spray of a Pomegranate colored marker and Rudolf had a matching nose.
The rest of my design is pretty self-explanatory. I just love this Charbon paper by Stampin Up and when the challenge was to use Basic Grey…well, I wasn’t long in pulling it out.
Wishing you joy!

Julia, this rendition of “the reindeer” is show stoppingly beautiful! Beautiful Job. Again!
Love this card; it’s beautiful and elegant and I love the non-Christmas colors!!
Great idea on the nose! It turned out beautifully.
What a fabulous card! I love that reindeer stamp…and don’t think I could ever get tired of it! Every detail of this card just wreaks of elegance. Beautiful job, Julia!
I have to have this stamp as I found two christmas tree ornaments that are just like the raindeer stamp. They are by Seasons of Cannon Falls. I will make a card for my secert sister and put the orament on the package as an extra gift. Bought them in Louisville,Ky
So, so elegant. The coordinating colours are so beautiful together. I got a kick out of how you put the nose on. Anything good over at Stamp Art these days? I’m picking up DD from the bus station on Thursday and thought I’d go in to see what I can spend my $$ on. I’m in search of Magenta’s Peel-Off’s markers. Take care,
OMG Julia, this is beautiful!!! I have this deer, I love this deer, I need to make this card!!! Thanks for the inspiration!

I just love this reindeer and am in quick need of one but when I went on the site it wasn’t listed for sale. I know you said they were out of it but expecting it this week. Is there any way I can order it and have them ship it as soon as they receive it? Thanks. Your card is so lovely!
