I began with a 6" white card. I used LOTV Kraft Christmas papers, blended with Gathered Twigs DI. A piece of hessian(burlap) draped across the centre for texture. Brown cardstock, punched snowflakes, star shaped brads, all added. The main image -My Snowman Friend' and the message tags are from LOTV. I coloured the image with Promarkers and Distress Inks.

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges. Billie A has chosen R is for Reindeer. To se the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. We look forward to seeing a herd of reindeer from our players. 

My card - I used a 7 5 in scallop edge card, added a black mat card. The reindeer stamps is from Woodware stamps, along with the adorable little verse in the top left corner. I had fun playing with Zentangles to decorate the reindeer. The only colour I added was the small red bow, his heart and
