How to make
You will also need:
* Pencil
* Scissors
* Craft knife - available in store only
* Fine paint brush
Begin by stamping the reindeer onto smooth stamping card, using the black archival ink pad.
Work with the Artiste watercolour markers to colour the reindeer.
Use water to create lighter colour tones. Scribble onto an acrylic block, and pick up the colour and water using a fine brush.
On a separate piece of smooth stamping card, create a muted green watercolour background.
Use a larger acrylic block to scribble two different greens onto. Add a little water to blend, before placing the card on top. Press down slightly, then lift it off.
Top Tip: A few additional splashes of water could be added before leaving the background to dry naturally.
Trim down a 5 x 7" white card blank, by cutting away a 2.5cm strip from the right-hand side.
Carefully fussy-cut the reindeer out to create an embellishment topper.
Use the spare strip from the card blank to hand letter a 'Merry Christmas' caption, using a black fine liner pen, in a smooth, continuous line.
Trim down the banner to 20mm in height, and the same width as the card front.
Use plenty of glue from a glue stick to fix the water colour background in place onto the card front. This should smooth out any warps in the card, or leave under a heavy book over night.
Attach the caption banner towards the base of the card with a few 3D foam pads.
Cover the reverse of the reindeer with more foam pads, cutting them in half with a craft knife to fit into smaller areas.
Position the prepared reindeer onto the front of the card slightly towards the right-hand side.
Add several clear gems in two sizes over the background to look like a delicate snowfall. Also add one small gem on the reindeer's right antler to finish.
