Reindeer Fun for CAS Colours & Sketches 543

I'm just like a kid in a lolly shop at present - so many things arrived in my pre-order box for the September-December Mini that I just don't know what to play with first! Soooo many lovely goodies. Not a bad place to be, really. 😀 

Anyway, as I often do, when I'm looking for inspiration I turned to my favourite challenge sites. In this case, the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches caught my eye.

While I usually like to play around with a sketch, this time I played it with a straight bat and made something just like the picture.

Not only that, but I went for completely traditional Christmas colours as well: Basic White, Shaded Spruce and Real Red.

These cute as little wreath and ribbon dies come from a sweet retro-feel bundle called Reindeer Fun. One of the things I like about it is that in addition to sweet reindeer images (think Bambi) you get all the little extras like the wreath, holly, gifts and a through-the-forest scene cut out die. A kind of one-stop Christmas shop! This bundle, plus some of the other elements of the suite, are the basis for the Creativity Abounds Virtual Stamp Camp in October, so make sure to check it out once the catalogue goes live on September 4.

The embossing folder is also from the forthcoming Mini and is called Forever Plaid. If you're a scrapbooker you'll be especially interested as it's a giant folder - pretty much A5 size.

The cutie pie little 'Merry Christmas' is from another new set called Humble Home, which I'm sure you'll be seeing more of from me in the future as it's another gorgeous one! I've die cut it using Stylish Shapes.

The embellishments are some small Rhinestone Jewels.

Voila! A simple but sweet card. 😀
