Mantle Scene with Reindeer

Hi all - I wanted to get in another card for Christmas Kickstart Challenge #99 where they're doing Christmas Critters. I used a pair of reindeer on a mantle & finished it late last night:


Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card; scraps;
Basic Grey 25th & Pine (from 2013)
Dies - Memory Box Wreath Sprigs 
& Pine Tree Grove (retired);
Waffle Flower Christmas Banners;
Other - Copic Markers E11 & 13; foam tape; 
white gel pen; Park Lane gems; HA pearls;
TH Gathered Twigs Distress Ink

I recently ordered the mantle from Spellbinders to go along with the mantle decor set I'd picked up locally. Couldn't find the decor set so used some reindeer from a snow globe add-on set. Added some pine sprigs from a Memory Box set and a pine grove die cut from glitter paper. Gems, pearls and a sentiment banner completed the card.

I'm also sending my card to Darnell's IDEAS where Anything Goes this week. And to the June NBUS Challenge #75 since the mantle and wreath sprigs are newly used today. Finally, I'm playing at Ally's Angels #95 where Anything Goes; I found this challenge through Wendy (Cártaí) who recently joined the Card Chain & is a DT member at Ally's Angels.

Just a quick post - I'm off to get some new brakes pads, then have lunch with a friend.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!!
