Tree and Reindeer Christmas Card

This Christmas card was made by a special request to be sent to an Irish lady.

Ingredients:

Light green canvas textured CS for the card's basis
Background patterned paper - Christmas book by Crafty Individuals
Red leather textured CS (the tree)
Forest green CS (the reindeer)

Off white CS (the standing reindeer)
Shiny gold paper
Red envelope
Sizzix Bigz Die - Reindeer by Tim Holtz
Michael Strong's Cloisonné Christmas Tree Die Cutter (large)
1" snowflake punch
Iron Gate Edger Punch by Martha Stewart
Tiny clear bling (for the reindeer's eye)
White and red half pearls (with sticky back)

Gold Gel pen

I cut and punched the papers and layered the images on top of them.
Both the tree and the reindeer were glued 3D for extra dimension.
I added half pearls and a bling for some Christmas glam.

I added one more reindeer inside the card, with a golden eye.

Merry Christmas to you and to your loved ones!
I hope your holiday is filled with laughter and joy, and I wish you a year of light and love!
