A Christmas card..

Hey friends!!  Popping in with a Christmas card that I made for a two Verve challenges:  Viva La Verve November sketch challenge week 1 and Verve Diva Inspiration challenge:  Rustic Winter. I have only two Verve holiday/Christmas sets... a situation I need to remedy and fast, lol!  I used both sets to create my card along with some Teresa Collins Tinsel and Company patterned paper.  I was inspired by the two reindeer in the photo, but obviously went with a different color scheme!  To bring in the rustic feel I added some distressing to the edges of the panels and used burlap twine for the bow element.  The little reindeer are from the Verve Unto Us stamp set.  I die cut the reindeer from kraft cardstock using the matching die and then stamped them using Stampin Up! Early Espresso ink.  After die cutting my sentiment panel (using my AJVD Polka Dot Rectangle Backdrop dies) I roughed up the edges and stamped it with the sentiment in grey and the little snowflakes (from the Verve Holiday Treats stamp set) using Stampin Up! Crumb Cake ink.   The banners were die cut using my MFT fishtail flag stax dies.  After I tied on the twine bow I thought it needed something so I added the little felt poinsettia embellishment.
