Hero Arts Christmas Reindeer - a final Christmas card

Hi blogging friends

I have decided to post one last Christmas card whilst it is still technically Christmas season:

The image was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto watercolour paper and coloured with watercolour pencils and a paintbrush.  I stamped some snowflakes which are from the same Reindeer set around the image with Versacolor Polar Blue pigment ink and added silver rhinestones to the centres.

Here is a close-up of the reindeer - isn't he adorable? 

The side panel was embossed with a Basic Grey/Sizzix Snowflakes #8 embossing folder and my Big Shot.  I added the organza ribbon in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy.

I added some Kaisercraft Crystal Sparklets to the bottom RHS.  LOVE this new Sparklet range by Kaisercraft!  Here is a wee close-up - I tried to capture some of the sparkle from the sunlight (I always take my photos outside).  They look just like diamonds!!

Challenges:

I am entering my card in the following challenges -
