Reindeer #2 Shaped Christmas Card

Used Cricut cartridge Doodlecharms & Gypsy to make this Clean & Simple CAS Reindeer shaped Christmas card for a child. Cut multiple images of the Reindeer. Face is core'dinations French Roast dark brown cardstock. Ears & patch on the head near antlers is core'dinations Bright White cardstock. Layer below the dark brown is core'dinations Fudgesicle light brown cardstock. Inside & back of card is Kraft cardstock. Used red tape to attach front to back for shaped card since the reindeer antlers did not allow for shaping card otherwise with Gypsy. Used Tim Holtz Paper Distresser on the white for the ears & patch on the head near antlers. Used Spellbinder for sentiment tag. Stamped sentiment. Used a Sakura GellyRoll ClearStar pen for faux stitching. Added ribbon.

Photographed with a plush my daughter gave me several yrs ago. My fav Christmas theme besides Snoopy & Woodstock is a Reindeer. Look and see at my attempt at making the Reindeer card look like the plush Reindeer.
