Hello & welcome to a fun Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week's challenge is to Choose Two elements to use from the 3 available options - circle, trees, and ink blending. I chose circle and trees, though I did sneak in a little ink blending too. I need to get started on my Christmas card and wanted to play with some of my new mini favourites so I did some mix and matching with the new Reindeer Fun stamp set and dies bundle, Decorative Trees dies, and Peaceful Season dies (both sets also bundled). Here's how it turned out.

How sweet is that reindeer? Take a closer look.

Details:
  • In the Reindeer Fun bundle there are 3 dies that complete the layered deer. For this one I cut all the pieces in white cardstock then coloured them super quickly with Stampin' Blends markers (Pecan pie, the deepest Natural Tone, and Real Red).
  • The leafy circle die is from the Reindeer Fun bundle too. I cut this in white too and blended some Granny Apple Green ink on top using a Blending Brush. I think I used it upside down compared to the SU images but I like that the deer is peeping out.
  • I cut a stitched circle in the patterned paper using my all time fave Stylish Shapes dies
  • The tree on the front is made from two dies in the Decorative Trees dies - a plain one in Granny Apple Green and a dotted one in Real Red.
  • The paper is from the Take a Bow paper pack.
  • The stamped and die cut Christmas sentiments on front and inside are from the Peaceful Season stamp and die bundle.
