Rudolph on Gift Box

Hi all - I'm back again with my third & final card for Christmas Kickstart Challenge #99 with Christmas Critters. Rudolph takes center stage in a super cute digital image from Whimsy Stamps.


Supplies: Paper - Bazzill A2 card; Neenah Solar White;
My Favorite Things Colorful Christmas
Digital - Whimsy Stamps Rudolph
Stamps w/dies - Taylored Expressions Season's Sweetings (dies HERE);
Hero Arts Gingerbread House Stamp & Cut 
(retired at HA but one left in stock HERE at Frantic Stamper)
Dies - Poppystamps Nordic Treeline;
Other - Copic Markers; foam tape; white gel pen

When I bought a new printer last fall, I surfed various companies for digital images to have on hand if needed. I found four different files at Whimsy Stamps, Rudolph being one of them. I printed him off, die cut with a stitched rectangle, colored with Copics and matted on red. I applied Glossy Accents to give him a shiny nose.

Added the panel to an A2 card covered with ornament patterned paper. Colored a couple Nordic trees from the treeline die cut and trimmed them off the line to add to the bottom left. While dipping into the bits box for a sentiment, I found a bitty gingerbread cookie so colored it & added to Rudolph's lifted hand. Done!

I'm also sending my card to Darnell's IDEAS where Anything Goes this week. And to the June NBUS Challenge #75 since the digital image is newly used today. 

I'm got my new brakes pads yesterday & had lunch with my friend Connie. Driving to our respective homes we both ran into heavy rain. I live in the east Twin Cities metro & she and her hubby in the far southwest. Luckily - no hail fell on either of us! Much as we need rain, that much in a short time was causing flash flooding & some of my plants took a beating. Oh well, they'll come back...

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!!
