MelJen's Challenge

This week's challenge at MelJens is to use red, green and gold. When I saw the new release this week: I was awestruck. So many amazing images. Each reindeer has it's own unique personality. I have never seen a more fun rendition of Santa and his reindeer. . I knew I had to make something special. I decided to make a wall hanging that I could enjoy year after year at Christmas time. I purchased a shadowbox frame at Michaels. I covered the backing with cardstock and cut out house die cuts with my Cricut machine. I also used flocking on the houses to represent snow. I added a moon, using my spellbinders, and rhinestone stars. I used most of the new release images this week and colored them with my Copic Markers. I used cardstock from American Crafts. To add further dimention, I cut out "Season's Greetings" in vinyl using my Cricut machine. I added several different sizes of dimentionals to make this image 3D and to allow the back and front reindeer to be seen and to be represented realistically. On my images I added Stickles, Clear Snap Smooch and lots of rhinestones.

I followed the ABC Christmas Challenge of "Yuletide". I also participated in the Beli challege of using Christmas paper or embellishments. I also used the Digital Tuesday challenge of "Baby it is Cold Outside". I also followed the ABC challenge of using jewels or gems on my card.
