Holiday Reindeer

Another card for the current challenge at Jingle Belles - "no time like presents" - to use leftover wrapping paper, tags, etc. to create holiday cards. As you can see here, I used an oval punch to create my focal point from this adorable and vintage style wrapping paper that I adore. I used a recent Freshly Made Sketch once again and again, I can't seem to stop using burlap! 


Since I "cut off" part of a poinsettia in the wrapping paper design, I found one that would effectively overlap the image, covering the partial one on the paper while providing some dimension. Cute, but quick and easy and one more card for the 2015 stash!!!


As I mentioned, this card is for the current prompt at Jingle Belles! Head on over and check out the fabulous inspiration. You know you want to get those holiday cards going and reduce your stress next holiday season!

Thanks for stopping by!

What I used:
oval and scalloped oval punch
Target gift wrap leftovers
burlap
Prima poinsettia
paper - CTMH scrap and Little Yellow Bicycle "Making Merry"
Kaiser pearls for the centre of the poinsettia and to embellish
CTMH distressing tool
