DAY 5 OF BUGABOO STAMPS :: CHRISTMAS IN JULY CELEBRATION WEEK

 What do reindeer hang on their Christmas trees?

Horn -aments!

Day 5 of our celebration at Bugaboo Stamps, and as it's Wednesday, we get to share with you a humorous Christmas card we've made:

My card features the Bugaboo image called Make it Snappy - Reindeer Trio, and I used Copics to do the colouring.

I have added Glossy Accents to the reindeer's noses and gems to the 'horn-aments'

To make up my card here's what i did:

white CS card base > printed the sentiment on the outside > printed the answer to the riddle and the Christms smiley on the inside > added the torn washi tape > added the image over the washi tape > cut a window in the front of the card > surrounded the window with gems

That's it! short and sweet!
