Reindeer, Snow People and a Party

First off, a card and a color combination that goes a bit "out of the box"!
 I used the Colour Q challenge for my card along with some Hero Arts stamps.  The color combination says "halloween" but I wanted to see if I could adapt it to a Winter/Christmas theme. 
 I am in love with this cute reindeer and his purple sweater!
 Here is the Colour Q combo.
 I also wanted to play with a brand new sketch blog, CAS(e) this Sketch.  The thought would be to keep the card simple so I tried to do just that.
 I interpreted the sketch as having some kind of a design that goes across the bottom edge of the card.  I did this by stamping the Paper Smooches dot border stamp twice, it was inked by rubbing a Distress Stain directly to the stamp.  I adore Kim's snow people so this guy seemed like the perfect accent.  He is a simple addition since he is supposed to be white making for a limited amount of coloring needed. 
 Here is the CAS(e) Sketch.
 This card puts to use The Play Date Cafe combination.  I have wanted to do a card with some long banners on it so I used that look to put the colors together on my card.
 Instead of a plain white background, I used a stencil and just put color in a few places on the card. 
 Here is a close up of my little banners.
And, here is The Play Date Cafe combination.
Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
